#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

You sure it wasn't because every other tank could basically handle the healing afterwards entirely on their own?

Living Dead had actually been preferable in certain circumstances in the past, such as needing a shorter cooldown than Hallowed Ground but a longer duration than Holmgang (also the freedom of movement; Holmgang used to bind the WAR for its duration too). Then they normalized them in ShB, but forgot that DRK's wasn't designed with exact equality in mind, and they now had 1/4 healers able to e.g. Benediction instead of 1/3, and AST's top end potency of Essential Dignity dropped so it was less able to heal up LD, etc.

Not to mention, so many healers don't even understand how Living Dead helps a DRK mitigate to this day, requiring that they play differently to truly capitalize in many situations.

It's certainly more complicated than "healer were unwilling to heal the drk".

Don't forget that the potency required to heal a tank's hp pool nigh doubled in shadowbringers.

To guarantee a drk didn't die on scholar you had to have a bunch of aetherflow on hand and *be ready* to burn it, or mix in a reci et adlo. It was pretty dicey, I had to practice how I could do it in various situations on scholar in time.

With no other healing sources, four un-crit cure 2s was not 100% of a drk's hp. That's ten seconds of GCD spam, for you non healers out there. Simply put, the requirements to save the DRK jumped to unsustainable levels without exceptional healers ready to jump on that instantly, or required way more cooldowns to hit.

You know, cooldowns that healers may not have in hand if you were just forced to invuln.

This gets even worse if your healer had lower gear in a roulette and the tank had higher gear. That's more hp to heal and less potency per heal due to gear.

There's a reason DRK LD suddenly became a bigger problem than it used to be. It wasn't lazy healers.

But you know, that requires people to know how healing has changed over time, instead of just making baseless comments.

From my experience, Living Dead was practically never used in a duty with only 1 healer, due to the lack of the difficulty to bring drk to even activate it.
So the content a DRK usually did use it always had 2 healers whom both could heal the DRK to full.
Imo it wasn't a sole healers duty to top the DRK up, but a shared one.

Simply saying is as from my understanding, your comment was done from a single healer scenario, not a duo.
