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

[Cynric]

snip

Living Dead does not make you immortal for anywhere near 20 seconds. It allows healers to DPS for that long with proper planning but you are not immortal. You still take damage and have to die to trigger walking dead. If you die on the 10th second of Living Dead then you will not reap any benefits of the cooldown and will just die.

Living Dead = 18 maximum seconds of healer DPS and 10 seconds of invulnerability.

You have to die under one effect to trigger the other, if you have to die you can't be considered immortal.

As for fixes. I think the life leech idea is one of the better ones. Because then at least you can contribute a significant amount of healing or bring yourself back up to full. Though I feel like if it were that strong the CD should be lengthened because it would be pretty close to hallowed in terms of power.

Right now the CD isn't justified but after a buff like that the CD would be too short.

and yeah I realize you don't have to top off DRK, just heal for the maximum health.

Though I can't think of a more wasteful way to use benediction than on Walking Dead. I feel like Living Dead is a skill that pressures healers into using benediction when the point of an Invincibility skill would be to save your healer from having to waste their strongest skill simply because you popped a CD.
