Was bored and had thoughts about LD

As I said above, all they really need to do to make it basically like Holmgang is to remove the death aspect and keep everything else the same. The other aspects like the 10s Living Dead before Walking Dead buffer plus the Walking Dead effect being removed if 100% healing is reached should be enough to differentiate LD and Holmgang.

You have to look at it from SE’s perspective of “balance” the 10s duration of WD is offset by the 5min CD, the 10 second leeway to activate it is offset by the risk of death and apparently the removal of the effect from a full heal (or not triggering at all due to never hitting 1 HP) is not considered as a positive or negative.

So, if they remove the death penalty then a boon has to go too. And I’d rather lose that activation leeway than the longer duration on the effect.
