DRK skill: Living Dead

[ForteNightshade]

Now rather than have it proc automatically. What would be better actually would be to have it operate more like Excog, kinda. If you take fatal damage, the LD state procs and you dont die just like normal. You need to be healed for your HP. However if the effect drops off and you havent taken fatal damage, the skill heals you for a percentage of your max hp (Let's say 50%). Now if it doestn pop you get a huge restore so youre still safe for using it, but if it does pop, well better hope your healer is on top of it. It also gives it practicality in solo content as well. HP running low and your starting to worry? Pop LD, mitigate to hell and have it fall off for the restore. This gives you some level of skill in using it too.

Other things that could be done to make it more functional would be to change how the LD effect operates. Have it reduce self healing to 0 - so you cant self heal no matter what. However, if you leave combat before the effect ends, it doesnt kill you. It just falls off with you at 1 hp. Again, to give you some level of survivability, if you manage to kill your enemy in the time frame LD goes off, you dont die at the end of it cause you cant get your HP up.

I actually rather like this idea. Perhaps make the amount healed a percentage of the damage you deal while under Walking Dead in the same vain Warrior can heal itself through Nascent Flash.

Usually people will know when you are going to use it in Savage raids so that's not a problem. It's anything below that that is the issue.

If only.

PF teaches you a scary lesson with LD because the sheer amount of healers who just don't pay attention to it is... concerning. If nothing else, they need to make it far more noticeable when WD activates. Like your name flashes obnoxiously or something.
