And if you have no idea where the WHM was when they cast raise on you? Especially in 8 man runs. Expecially when people need to keep moving to not get hit by 'circle' attacks.

Oh. Lets not forget something like Longstop boss. You get a raise and when things are ok, you hit the accept button, dragon barfs on raise spot. Being unable to move you start taking damage you can not avoid.

I have idea when Titan will use stomps or puddles for example, so I wait for safe time to raise no matter the place the WHM was when he raised me

Being able to work around it is irrelevant to the conversation of whether or not it should be the way it is. I can raise up during Titan and survive also (as BLM no less, which has crazy low HP/defense compared to most everyone else). I can work around when Demon Wall bugs out and Repels late because you pushed its HP down too fast if I know it's bugged out, but does that mean it should bug out? Bottom line, it's pretty annoying to be locked and totally vulnerable, with no way to move, get heals, or anything. Regardless of whether or not you can choose when to Raise safely.

If you want to call it a feature, because you think that added difficulty needs to be there, go for it, but don't use "it doesn't stop you from playing the game" as a way to legitimize it. You could also work around it by not dying. Crazy, right?

There's already a punishment for dying. It's called weakness.

Having no invincibility frames during the raise animation is bad design because you can't always know when it's safe or where you will be raised to.

It's yet another example of something ruining the game, its really annoying as a healer to raise someone and not be able to heal them immediately because the game won't allow it, so dumb.

No other MMO I know of does this.

There should be no animation lock at all, its things like this that people complained about in 1.0 and low and behold they're still here.

Definitely agree.

I made a post about this in the Feedback section.

Thats so stupid >_< they really need to fix this...

Nope. In the last mmo I played there was a small lock too. You wouldn't be able to do anything until the animation was over.

It's normal.
