Just save a google doc or .txt file with a copy paste of the explanation its not that hard bro.

    I apologize for coming off dissmissive but the amount of belly aching about dark knight in dungeons is getting ridiculous. the class is great at blasting down big pulls fast, living dead is really good between levels 50 and 69 because you dont have tbn and may struggle to stay alive if your party has bad dps and or healer/s. The idea that dark knight is "squishy" is just not true. You just cant turn your brain off like with warrior.
    I remember in ShB when GNB came out the superbolide had a 1 second delay after pressing it. Had ot plan it ahead of time during pulls otherwise once pressed you can die. Was kind of funny for those who used it at teh wrong time

    I really don't mean to be offensive or rude, i'm really curious, is it sarcasm or genuine suggestion?
    The fact that people have to pull out a google doc like a meme is really funny to me. I mean i just always assume people read the chat and understand what don't heal me before i reach 1 HP, i won't die means, of course 90% of the time i'm proven wrong but i guess i'm not thinking right, it reminds me the famous insanity quote.

    Of course most dungeons don't even require the use of Living Dead, the only dungeons i can remember where i can make use of it easily are Hullbreaker Isle and Mount Gulg, maybe Holminster Switch too.

    It's a genuine suggestion if you dont want to type during dungeons. Any dungeon run with a competent healer shouldn't even require you to use living dead so if you want to use it for funnies then all were saying is ask the healer to let you. The job shouldn't be made worse overall to facilitate not wanting to chat in an mmo

    I get wanting the power trip of getting stabbed to 1 hp by many foes only to life drain back to full like a savage just communicate that desire and you're good.

    This. Living Dead is super fun to use, but unless your healer is badly off their game or actually dead, you don’t need it. If you try to get it to proc and the healer doesn’t let you drop to 1 HP, congratulations, you lived. The only exception is if you’ve really bitten off more than you can chew and taken a pull your healer thought they could handle but in fact couldn’t, and ran themselves out of resources trying, in which case … wipe and come back with a smaller pull. It’s a pretty uncommon occurrence and it shouldn’t get repeated much because it’s a big learning experience.

    The other problem with living dead which is why I tend to not let it proc and because I’m confident I can keep the person alive without activating it is the fact that tanks using LD often panic and press it alongside half their mitigation kit so often they make themselves tanky enough that they risk it ending just before if procs meaning they are now on 5% HP with zero mitigation

    I’d rather just use the shield healers natural heal layering to keep them in a decent range than risk of dropping off at the worst time because they panicked and dumped it out with half their mitigation

    And that’s fine, I triaged the situation and the tank lived, is that not the essence of how interaction works in an MMO
