Honestly Living Dead is a terrible system and was one of the things I was hoping removed. Specially with Living Shadow being a new dps cooldown. It would have been cool if we had a special tanking version of this. Shadow protection where you summon your darkness to intercept incoming damage.

Basicly a buff that like reduces 50% of incoming damage. This buff works before any other buff. Dropping damage to shields by 50%. If you pop Rampart then that will only effect 20% of the remaining 50% of the damage you are taking after Shadow Protection.

This is just an idea on what they could have replace Living Dead with. I know it not perfect but honestly I hate Living Dead.
