Agree 100%. This is the bigger problem. I don't mind that players can be attacked after being raised. The fact that we can't heal a person who is raised as soon as they appear "standing" is the issue and I too am frustrated by this and have to wait and guess to see if the next cure spell will be cast on the person or on self. Please fix this issue

That's a start, but with the nature of the game now and AOE being all over the place all the time, raising is generally not even possible whatsoever.. I hope this helps!

this. the problem is that AFTER the Raise animation is complete. and even the player is running around. it is so annoying you can't heal the player for a few seconds. again the player is even moving. there should be ZERO problem here.

and i know for a fact there is a bug or something here. i myself have been healed almost immediately after being Raised. but yet when i Raise another player and they are even moving... why can't i heal them? they are fully Raised. they are even moving around. yet there is still a few seconds they can not be healed.

if this is intended then the developers have designed a seriously flawed mechanic in the game. though the immunity will be a very much welcomed work-around. not an actual fix. but if it is a hardware lag issue then maybe nothing is actually wrong.

but yeah anyhow than you very much for the report on the immunity feature. this will help a tremendous amount. but please take note to allow the duration to extend slightly past the animation. otherwise all will be for nought.

i also play the PS3.

I have to say that sure its nice your gona fix it, but why wait till 2.1, surely that is something that could be adjusted in the hotfix?

I've witnessed a lancer die 4 times in a row from the Cutter's Cry final boss (Chimera) AoE attacks, simply because each time he is revived, he gets hit by the next AoE, either because he couldn't move yet, or because he could not start moving quickly enough (due to being stuck in the raise animation).

And that wouldn't have been a problem if the healer could heal him. But no. They can't.

The problem with just adding invulnerability is that we still don't know when we can heal him. So please just fix the healing delay and let us heal the poor soul! :3

they should add a 2-3 secs invulnerability with the ability of healers to target and heal during that short window.

This will be good then. I hate raising in attacks, then dying shortly after being raised, lol. Yes, I can control when I accept the raise, but sometimes it's unavoidable and becomes a waste of MP for the healer ;w;

so the problem of healing yourself will still exist, good job se

I think it would be helpful to add the targetted noise if you cast something on yourself.. you know that sound you hear when something targets you for the first time? if you start a cure and hear that noise, you know its going on you and not the raisee..

also, i havent tested it but would "face target" work.. ie, even though they cant be the target of a healing spell you are still on them so if you target them and heal yourself will you still look at them.. it might happen too fast but it could be a good indicator

We all want this to change but I doubt it will ever happen. This is the way SE want it to be. It had been like this in FFXI, in FFXIV 1.0 and now again in ARR 2.0. So learn to live with it.
