How would a SCH heal Living Dead?

[Vluto]

What I like to do is watch the tanks buffs/debuffs in the party list and remember the colors for living dead. You have 10 seconds of the very red buff with the hourglass in it before it procs to walking dead(grey debuff) at 1 hp. You see the red thing just heal it so it doesn't proc. You dont necessarily have to waste all your resources to do this sometimes a whispering dawn and Aldo+soil or recited excog could stop it. It's a wasted cooldown for the tank but you didnt have to waste all your resources on that one CD just to stop a possible wipe. Also if you are even on whm and it happens you have 10 whole seconds of them at 1hp for that bene to hit so spam more holy.

I'm no Scholar, but possibly with a well-timed Excogitation alongside an Emergency Tactics boosted Adloquium. Possibly a Lustrate to top it off.

I would agree with Lunar. Make sure you use

Recitation

with your Excogitation to have atleast 3 stacks of AF still at the ready.

excog then emergency tactics + recitated adlo. if excog is on cd lustrate should still be enough. idk why people are saying its impossible when scholar is the only job whose cure2/benefic2 crits heal for twice as much

It's easy if you have all your resources, but unless the living dead is planned, most of the time it comes out of nowhere and you have maybe 1 stack of aetherflow, or often 0, no recitation. So you just have e-tactics adlo and a dream.

Fae Illumination > Lustrate > Dissipation > Excog/Lustrate (preferably with Recon) > E-tactics+Addlo > Swiftcast+Raise as you realize you forgot to target the tank in panic.

lol thanks for that

[Alfric]

You don't.

I personally on two different occasions since 5.0 came out healed a DRK through living dead. They were both in the level 75 dungeon. We can do it!

[Mhaeric]

Panic Lustrate > Panic Lustrate > Panic Lustrate > DRK dies

Panic Lustrate > Panic Lustrate > Panic Lustrate > Dissipation > Panic Lustrate > Panic Lustrate > Panic Lustrate > DRK might live. Maybe.

The correct answer is with a co-healer. Recitation Excog or Emergency Tactics Adlo. Your AST co-healer can handle the rest with Essential.
If you're in a dungeon, Recitation Excog, ET Adlo, and Lustrate most likely?

Ideally it is planned.
If someone has to use it in an actual emergency, it's probably downhill from there anyway, and all they did was buy 10 seconds longer before the wipe.
