Please rework living dead again.

[StrifeBlade]

Please either increase the timer to heal yourself, or rework the spell again. Dying because you press a GCD a split second before hitting 0 HP is insane, why cant you just give DRK a normal invuln like basically any other tank? absolutely insane.

Doing duels in Zadnor and taking a buster to the face, or dying to P12S lazy lasers strat because of timing + Living Dead mechanic is ridiculous, you need at least 1 oGCD from a healer just to be safe incase of a bad GCD tick, like jesus christ.

Add a small healing potency to oGCDs while under Walking Dead instead, make it a real exciting scramble to get that last 10%.

[PercibelTheren]

Imagine needing a healer to *checks notes* heal you. Living Dead is fine as is.

And here come the gatekeeping Warrior mains, explaining why your jank needs to stay so they can feel special.

Nah, I don't recognize "I got server ticked" as a DRK-specific complaint when every job deals with it.

I like skills with tricky timings. I'm still annoyed that CBU3 lobotomized Berserk and Hypercharge to a boring charge system rather than fixing their horrible netcode. I would love it if Berserk went back to its "worse" Shadowbringers version.

My real complaint against Living Dead is that its cool new redesign is still ridiculously unwieldy to use in big pulls solely due to the number of tunnelling healers who only see HP bars and not buffs or chat messages, so they panic and waste all their cooldowns once you hit 20% and don't allow LD to pop, practically guaranteeing your death later in the pull. No other tank has to deal with that crap since WAR can Benediction himself every 30s and PLD/GNB have panic-proof, dungeon-ready invulns.

Its funny how much of a non issue it would be if DRK literally had any sort of healing of its own at all.

[Doozer]

Use a potion. Or, if you're in Zadnor like you say, use Bloodsucker. Problem solved.

[Lyth]

Using a healing potion places your tincture on cooldown and vice versa. If it didn't, then everyone would be using it.

I can appreciate that there is both an upside and downside to Living Dead in its current format. What we should really be talking about is moving Holmgang, which has no drawbacks, to a 5 minute recast.

If you can't press 3 gcd's in 10 seconds, or time LD correctly in P12S then that sounds like a skill issue.

It's actually impossible to die using LD now.

Only downside to LD is that it's not great on slow 3+ hit busters, even then it's because the final hit of them hits you after the lifesteal wears off, so you need a small extra heal - But Holmgang and Bolide have that same issue anyway.

Zurvan Unreal puts you in a situation where its impossible to resolve Living Dead on your own without a crit.

Saying its impossible is a lie, unlikely, but not impossible.
