Q9. Compared to Hallowed Ground and Holmgang, there's more burden for healers when Living Dead is used. Do you have plans to adjust this effect?

A9. This is up for consideration, instead of adjusting this action alone, we’re looking into this as if we need to adjust the special characteristics for the dark knight job. We’ll check the overall performance from 3.05 and continue looking into this.
The other DRK Q&A.

"..we're looking into this as if we need to adjust the special characteristics for the dark knight job.."

^This is telling. They just gave a subtle hint that they're analyzing the whole DARKNESS tool-kit. I'm sure AST CARDS mechanic is being given the same Data Analysis through 3.05.

At least that's what the optimist in me wants to believe.
