Dark Knight ability names

[Yhximott]

afaik (according to various translations) you get a buff that lasts X seconds long and when you're hit for all your health, you live @1 and enter a zombie stat where you're unkillable. Within the time of that zombie state, you need to be healed to full and that will remove the status. If you're not healed to full in that time, you die. So you don't need to be at full by the end of the timer, just within it - not hard to do with a Bene/Lustrates/Cures. It's no Hallowed Ground, but it's a good immunity CD, at least if that's how it works.

It sounds better than Hallowed Ground. Based on the description it has the same effect of 10 seconds of invincibility (zombie buff) that auto casts if you reach 0 while under the effect of Living Dead. That eliminates the animation delay, which is Hallowed Ground's only weakness, in exchange for marking you for death. Worth it imo.

Its more like HG, but not really better, I think. According to information ( a lot of GOSSIP xD) spread around internet:


- DRK uses Living Dead.
- Buff is there for 15-20 secs. DRK still receive dmg, still can be healed too. Nothing uncommon.
- IF DRK get killed while LD buff is on, LD buff is removed and replaced for The Walking Dead (lets call it TWD, lol).
- While TWD is on, you can't die, because you already dead, but probably you can move, attack and eat your friends.
- If not healed to full HP while TWD is on, you will die (for real this time).
- If healed to full HP, TWD will be turned off, no matter how much time is left in TWD buff.

So, its something between HG and Holm.

Throw it on a Dragoon and you have yourself a portable 5* HP potion.

I didn't understand that combo in OP post. It's a five-way combo to "Delirium blade"?

No there are 3 combos:
1. Hard slash - Spin slash - Power slash
2. Hard slash - Siphon strike - Soul Eater
3. Hard slash - Siphon strike - Delirium blade

Should just be "Dark" + Paladin skill name.

Just to be edgy (hah!).

Anything "shield" can be replaced with "Agony".

Yay.

I can't help it, this is all I can think of now when explaining DRK to my friends

[Arkenne]

certainly, this job will be all nomnom-dps

The description of Living Dead in the linked Google Doc doesn't match up with OP.

Living Dead: Holmgang equivalent skill. Unable to die for 15-20s, even if you reach 0 HP. You must be restored back to 100% HP before skill wears off, otherwise tank will die. Once 100%, buff will automatically fall off.

Living Dead - Applies a 20 second buff that, if hit fatally, allows you to survive, gives you ten seconds (of a “zombie” state) to be healed to full or you die (at the end of the 10 seconds). 300 Second cooldown.
You cannot die during the Pre-buff or the Zombie state.
As soon as you hit 100%, zombie is cleansed.

From the second description, the actual mitigation (zombie mode) only last 10 seconds.. same as Hallowed Ground. That 15-20 sec is reference to the initial buff, which on it's own, does nothing. It's the pre-buff: for 15-20 sec should you die you'll be rewarded with 10 seconds of extra life.

edit: knitpicking but sounds misleading

I translated it from JP sources, before my information was posted on that Google Doc. That same Doc was updated afterwards, afaik, with information through PCGamerN on Twitch for verbatim and a lot of things he said was still "shaky" as he was going through memory, not actual notes he wrote down.

We'll know the truth of it when we can play the Dark Knight ourselves.
