It was annoying but kind of funny in retrospect.

Why not have LD have the effects of both Holmgang and hallowed ground. Popping LD would give you 10 sec of a safety net that you won't die if you hit 1 hp. Once WD is actived then hallow ground is in effect where you take no damage for 6 sec but still need to be healed so you arn't low on hp once the effect ends.

Why would you reduce the time to heal them back up? 6 seconds would then REQUIRE either Benediction or multi Lustrate. With the current 10 seconds, it's easy to remove with standard heals + maybe one Lustrate or Tetra

Think their saying healed, as in just cured. not heal them for their full amount of HP. Thus the "so you arn't low on hp once the effect ends"

another idea for living dead could be to keep most of it the same just when you get put to one percent give the player a duration in which they cannot take damage but cannot be healed by another player either.

then for the duration of walking dead give the player a potent bloodbath effect as a means of removing the effect themselves as this would allow the tank to deal with the death if not fully healed without the healer just going into a panic and just removing the effect the moment you hit 1 percent.

I think we just need to take a step back and realize what Living Dead is truly missing. Darkness.

Dark Symbiosis: Envelope yourself in a shell of darkness, binding yourself in place and unable to take any damage (except outright kills), or do any actions for the duration. Duration 8 seconds. Cool Down: 5 minutes.

Visual effect will be a ball of darkness.

Reason I gave it the 6 sec duration is because I didn't want it to be as strong as a hallowed ground where you can use it to just skip mechanics. Of course the whole dying if you aren't healed to full would be removed completely. So if you aren't healed at all, well then your sitting at 1 hp after invincibility has ended, which could lead to you dying from an auto attack or the next damage skill from an enemy. However if a healer throws a Cure 2 on you or something then they don't have to worry about you dying for the next few seconds.

This way we still retain the whole, "I won't die and will keep on fighting." feel of the skill but removed the stress and heart attack inducing effect of the skill towards the healers.
