Living Dead

[Luin]

First time I ever used living dead was on 06s for the tornado. :P

You should have also used it for Head-On.

Well said. People complain about LD, but often forget holmgang gets the same treatment in lower end content. Ever try holmgang in a dungeon? More often than not will end up in death.

Holmgang is awful on trash but only because it binds you and 90% of the time something will AOE you at the worst possible moment.

And dungeons don't matter so they obviously aren't the discussion here.

Am I the only one who expects Living Dead to be redesigned as of the 4.3 DRK changes?

You really shouldn't, for 2 big reasons.

1, Living Dead doesn't define DRK's "strength". Even if Living Dead was suddenly Hallowed Ground, DRK would still be the odd-out. It'd be a buff, yes, but not enough and wouldn't fix drk's lack of identity. Obviously DRK would be used and I'm sure it would at least be popular for 8S, but you arent addressing PLD/WAR synergy in most other content. If this was the change, then it would be especially strong in content with lots of strong tankbusters, but not much else, and we already see DRK/WAR being used for that content.

2, going by trends (legacy, paladin, warrior), it takes SqE about 4 years to fix stuff. This would be a year early.
