Dark Knight Megathread

[Guts-BSM]

The cure potency for Living Dead should be buffed slightly. Just enough so that a Dark Knight can heal themselves, without receiving healing from other party members, within 3 GCDs on a single target. Normally a Dark Knight heals themselves with just 4 GCDs under Living Dead. However, if their GCD is slow(such as a 2.5 GCD or near that) and Walking Dead procs right after their GCD cooldown starts, the bad timing can make it so they can only get 3 GCDs under Walking Dead. If all 3 of those GCDs don't critical hit and roll low for variance, the Dark Knight can die while near the HP restoration requirement. This is a rare case and can never happen if you just give the Dark Knight any slight amount of healing. However, I assume the last Living Dead change was to eliminate any need for healing assistance from other party members.

since they fixed living dead i haven't once died to it

A rare case never happening to 1 person doesn't mean it never happens.

^ SPOILER for The Omega Protocol(Ultimate) phase 4.

That clip shows the rare scenario I've described where they only got 3 GCDs under the effect of Walking Dead despite always rolling their GCDs.

Of course the other alternative to make sure it never happens, besides receiving a small heal from another party member, is to hold your GCD until Walking Dead procs. But I doubt SE intends for you to play around it like that.

There is a DRK BiS set that runs 2.5 GCD, however. If a player(casual or not) wants to run a slow GCD, why should they be punished for it on a rare occasion just because they prefer a slow GCD?

that's something i can't argue about.
