What strikes me as odd is that all this time that they spent creating fancy UI elements to keep track of Darkside and your Shadow duration (neither of which seems particularly necessary), they could have just provided more visual feedback to the player and their healer through UI elements. I pretty much outlined what needed to be done months ago.

Living Dead and Superbollide are just flat out inferior copies of Holmgang and Hallowed respectively, especially with the removal of both of Holmgang's rooting and target requirement drawbacks. Merri seems to mention that Yoshi-p's resistance to addressing the power of the older invulns is because people might get upset if they get nerfed, but quite frankly, I think that more people will be upset if they aren't. Personally, I'm more invested in them fixing Superbollide (and Camouflage), because GBR seems to be HW DRK 2.0, and this new DRK doesn't really seem to address much of the issues that we raised outside of some superficial flash.
