How to make Dread Ward reliable. (very specific)

[Staggeringking]

Basically, if you use Garuda 1 on an enemy as they die you will proc Dread Ward "unkillable" state. So using a projectile wep (bows, staticor, fusilai, scourge, etc.) you can shoot at an enemy normally as if you wanted to kill them, but just before they get hit by the final projectile to kill them, press 1 on that enemy.

This eliminates the "balancing act" of trying not to one shot lower level / less tanky enemies. I use Exergis at about 15 metres away, this gives me enough time to activate 1 before the projectiles kill the enemy.

Hi, as Dread Ward exists currently, it is not worth imo for MANY specific reasons that have been discussed in other threads... But if you really like Garuda and want to use this mod, like me. This is the most simple/reliable way I can find. I'm trying my best with what DE gives us. 

...But if I could ask ONE way to improve Garuda in general, as well as this mod, give an indicator to enemies that can be executed.

But its better to post it in feedback.

That's the debuff marker from her ult.

While that would be nice, it isn't needed. Dread Mirror executes enemies with whose health is at 40% or less. This is most easily done by whittling them down with the procs from her ult.

I know it isn't needed, but it will make executing enemies more efficient. Which is especially useful for her augment, since you don't want to "eye ball" 40% which may prevent you from dying. Also the "whittling" from her 4 can change from "insta-kills" to taking too long to proc her augment depending on enemy level, just like any other source of damage.

Personally, spamming 1 on someone who looks like they are under 40% is just embarrassing, but if I'm in the minority for this issue, I'll "git gud" I suppose, idk.
