Dark Knight Megathread

[Archwizard]

Sure, but that doesn't require us to copy Warrior.

Never said it did, and I absolutely agree that it shouldn't.

Living Dead revised just slightly. There's a decent bit of coding doubtless involved, but Living Dead is certainly by now owed at least that much effort.

Living Dead
Ability - 300s recast
Grants the effect of Living Dead, preventing most attacks from decreasing your HP below 1 and causing you to heal for 50% of your damage dealt. The first time Living Dead prevents your death, its duration is refreshed but you will be inflicted with Borrowed Time.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
Borrowed Time: Generates a barrier equal to 100% of your HP which absorbs incoming healing. Incoming healing reduces this barrier by the amount it would have healed. This effect fades after 20 seconds.

• As before, not getting enough healing will leave you vulnerable; but, it can no longer outright kill you. The added overall healing requirement (needing to heal for almost 200% of the DRK's HP to top it back off) is mostly made up for by the life-steal. Barriers can still be attached to the DRK even when the initial healing does not get through to the DRK's HP.

This is probably the most effective way to revise LD to have the same approximate limitations, without massively penalizing healers who Bene too early or who cannot overcome the tank's HP limit in time.
My only gripe is that Borrowed Time should probably be limited to 10 sec, since if any of it remains after 10 sec the tank is stuck at 1 HP anyway with no immunity.
