[Suggestion: Dark Knight] How to make Living Dead more effective...easily!

[Cherie]

Sorry, but I, as a main healer, find this pretty nonsense.
I was never explained "holmgang", HG or "Living Dead". But I am always focused, and I realized very quickly what those skills do. I even made some research afterwards to know better (the duration, whether there are added effects or not, etc)
When I first saw Living Dead used, I found it extremely obvious to know what I had to do.

Those who care about their jobs will always do their own research. Those who already don't care will not care more with just an animation.

When I occasionnally run a dungeon as a DPS, I sometimes encounter a situation where the DRK is activating is skill and macro it in chat, like "Big heals or I'm dead!". Do you think the healer would care and try to do something, even though he has all needed infomation to react ? Nope.

It's exactly the same thing as the "pacification" effect for warriors. A good healer will not need to be macro'ed it in chat and will still dispell it. A healer who doesn't care will fail to dispell it, macro or not.

I don't disagree with you at all. But what my topic was healers that are strangers to you. Surely there are plenty of healers on their game and can handle this no prob. I have a great healer friend that has never failed to clear the debuff off me...well ever. What I was speaking of is total strangers. You know...duty roulette. The horror... the pain... I was just meaning to suggest a slight animation difference for the player not as clearly skilled as you are... you know, the average joe that maybe heals once a week... the standard person we find in duty finder.

Ideally a healer gets on their game and learns the ropes and becomes bomb at their job. This is not the average person however. I personally think you are referring to someone that by population of healers on server, would be considered an exceptional player.
