SE: Any plans on introducing Reraise?

If you're typically in a situation where the healer dies in a 4-man group, odds are good that the rest of the party is going down, and your weakened self with low mp will soon follow right after.

In 8-man, that's what the other healer, and potential SMN are for. Reraise is useless in this MMO. It made sense in FFXI when your options were either to have another raiser in the group, or you were boned since most relevant events were instanced (or ten miles away from any town), and home pointing from death removes you from the instance entirely.

I dont think we will see Reraise for awhile, or at all with the way content is at the moment.

We already kind of have it with swiftcast + raise.

If you die, you can't cast on yourself. So no, we don't kind of have it, we don't have it at all.

Scenario: have the ability to cast Re-Raise on both healers just in case both or one dies during an instance. Thus if one healer dies, they can hit re-raise and the other healer can carry on with healing/supporting the party without wasting MP.

Please stop posting common sense - you'll break the game.

Seems completely overpowered to me and should probably be left out.

There are many MMOs that have a "reraise" ability. I don't see what the problem would be with FFXIV having one.

The ones I've seen with a self raise like this, had limitations where not all healers and some dps could raise in combat. Since every WHM, SUM, SCH can raise in combat, reraise would be OP.

I just want Pheonix Down works in PvE.

How exactly would it be overpowered as only one other person in the party would be capable of Raise and they'd be tasked with healing the other 6 people by themselves including the two tanks?

I imagine they'd only introduce this once they raise the level cap, having reraise at the current levels would make things a bit to easy. if it was a higher level spell say 55 - 60 then you wouldn't be able to use it in any of the current dungeons/primals etc as they will be capped at 50 once the level cap increase is implimented. Reraise (if introduced) would only be usable to new content and anything outside instances.

My reasonining on this is that they designed the current content with the only spells/abilities currently available in mind so to throw new spells/abilities into the mix now would leave it open to exploits etc.
