Realistically, if the goal was to let drk save themselves from LD, then significant heal could be 20-25% hp per gcd. If it’s 20%, then latency would be a problem if you want to not rely on healers but you won’t end it early if you get all five hits. If it’s 25%, then you would be able to save yourself consistently but you will end it a few seconds early.

Maybe extending the duration to 12s could help but we’ll have to wait and see. Also I’m 90% sure bloodweapon will be change to stacks since Yoshi-p said one of drk’s ability will be changed to stacks and can be used no matter the latency which can only really mean bloodweapon.

I'm really hoping its not a boring lock to gcds only.

Would be much more interesting of a skill if it self healed off of everything, making an interesting decision of saving part of your burst to ensure healing with Living Dead or blowing it all for damage.

Not really. Putting saying, Shadowbringer, into LD means it no longer aligns with the next buff window, making it a DPS loss. Therefore, it'd be better for the healer to throw you an oGCD. The only oGCD that could be okay as a dump would be Flood. I'd say Curve and Spit or Plunge but they may not align, and you'd never hold onto them just for LD. Well, not CS at least.

My hope is once you cleanse the healing factor of Walking Dead, it just stays active for 10 seconds regardless. Alas, that requires some actual foresight. So I'm not holding my breath.
