Living Dead Change: Instead of Death, make it impose "Weakness"

[dspguy]

Hallowed Ground doesn't require a heal to full. Hell, the tank is losing zero HP.
Holmgang doesn't require a heal to full.
Superbolide doesn't require a heal to full.

Why does Living Dead require a 100% heal?


I appreciate what SE is trying to do by giving the tanks different flavors of invuln, but they are simply unbalanced. Look at Superbolide vs Holmgang. If a WAR pops Holmgang and his HP doesn't drop to 1 from incoming damage, there's no loss. You do that on Gunbreaker and you essentially get the benefit of the invuln with the guaranteed penalty of your HP going to 1. Living Dead is just broken. However, I suppose is fits DRK well, so that's why they keep it.

Remove death from it entirely

It then becomes then a very unique invuln with a different way it STOPS what would normally be a death blow . It then becomes at least one thing that stands out as being better at than the other tanks , apart from its damage output


oh and remove MP cost from TBN whilst yer at it

If I am understanding it correctly, what they want is for Living Dead to not kill the the DRK when it goes off and the DRK doesn't get healed to full. They want the DRK dying to be replaced with getting a different version of the Weakness debuff you'd get from being raised if you would die from Walking Dead.

Though if Square did do it, there would probably have to be other changes to it as it would kind of just become a worse version of Holmgang. As similarly to it, you can't get taken below 1HP during the Walking Dead debuff, with the difference that you're debuffed if you're not taken to 100% health.

Stop fighting and begging to make Dark Knight the most inconvenience skilled class. It already is like the all loss loss mitig skill class of them all Tanks. It has little to no "plus" to anything he has in it's arsenal, can't self heal for sh*t, can't survive without poping 4 mitigs at once dispersed like a cluedo / rubixcube everywhere on the skill bar, it's like negative tanking skill class with absolutely no plus to it. You really want to add more negatives to it ? You didn't think this through i believe or you are just sadomasochistic.

JUST MAKE LD NOT KILL THE DRK THAT IS ALL. Just stop piling on maluses to hell and back onto this job. It's already a f*cking disaster.

that's just a minute long penalty for pressing the button lol

[SenorPatty]

I believe this is what they call the bargaining stage.

Why does Living Dead require a 100% heal?

It doesn't. You need to receive healing equal to your total health, not be brought to 100% health. It did originally require you to be healed to 100%, but this was changed after it was determined to be absolutely ridiculous.

The above aside, you do have a point. I mean, GNB's invuln is less trouble than LD, and it requires the Gunbreaker to shoot themselves in the face.

I don't understand the whole idea of "Living Dead has a huge drawback, lets replace the drawback with a slightly less awful drawback." Why does Living Dead need any kind of drawback?

For example:

Living Dead: Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10
While under the effect of Walking Dead, you are rendered impervious to most attacks.
Walking Dead Duration: 10

There, no drawback. Increase cooldown to 6 minutes if necessary.

They just need to fix it by making everyone's else die as well then it will be perfect

[Tlachtga]

instead of killing the Dark Knight, they should just make it so its not needlessly punishing for both the tank and their healers.

that would require the devs to actually care about the job though. the fact DRK still can't use Dark Missionary, their raid shield, in two of the three current Ultimate fights is telling. and deeply embarrassing.
