How would you feel if Raises were instant and OGCD, but had a 60s CD?

I can see that for Savage but I wish people wiped more in alliance raids. Right now a single good healer can carry an entire 24-man raid which to me just feels uninteresting. It would be spicier if there were limited raises so alliance raids can feel tense again. It still wouldn't be hard, but people might need to wipe once or twice just like back in HW/SB.

Ugh brings to mind the 4 reszes I had on my hotbar as anTemplar in EQ2. Some in combat. Outhers out. Some can rez one person other a group

Rezzes are fine as they are. I wish others who can rez would help. Like. SMN helping rez while I’m fighting to keep the tank alive.

A instant cast Raise on oGCD with 60sec CD is WAY too powerful, even if you keep the weakness debuff. 120sec CD AT LEAST would be considered fair.

The norm on the typical MMO Res (not mentioning just WoW, theres plenty of Fish in the Sea), is from the experiences i made, by default 3-5 Minutes, with really powerful Res Skills sometimes even having 20-30 Minutes CD (near instant Res with full HP/MP Recovery or Self Res when dying while a Buff is active witj the formers benefits).


It is just mind blowing to me, that after 4 full Expansions, Healers are still stuck with just one default Res Ability and no actual Utilities AT ALL. At the very least, have it upgrade into something better at lv50-60.

I like raises the way they currently are, my RDM raise has been the one & only thing that stood between a group wide wipe or being able to continue on.

I wish we had more support tools, like an aoe esuna or the ability to give mp like in SB.

The only thing I would change about raise is for it to not be possible to cast raise on a person that already has the raise buff on them. I'm pretty content with it otherwise.

Best I can do for you is when you cast raise on someone who has already been raised it makes it an instant cast, takes the mp, and swaps your locations. Take it or take it. ;)

Having dead bodies show a symbol for jobs that can raise, with a visual hint that someone is the target of a raise, and a prevention of applying the raise 'buff' on the body of someone who already has it- would be very large QoL to raises.

There's nothing quite as satisfying as a healer than pulling off a hard casted raise on your first attempt.

Maybe it's just using a GCD on something other than damage. Actually, that's exactly what that's about.

Nope. I'd rather my raises not be artificially limited and only be constrained by my MP pool. I generally only need to raise with swiftcast, but I've pulled enough groups back from the brink of failure without LB3 that I know the value of being able to raise when I need to.

I think outside of cutting edge content where dropping your rotation can be the difference between success and failure, if a healer especially is worried about their rotation instead of supporting their party then maybe they need to rethink taking on that role.

I personally think the skill floor is way too low and this with other changes could bring more interesting content. But a 60s cd is to short. And its gonna be a hard sell since theres a lot of players looking for a skill floor which accepts completely AFKing.

While I'm not necessarily against the idea the current system is fine too. It's simply about setting expectations. I will happily rez in prog but once the fight is on farm the button goes off my bar. There is nothing satisfying about limping across the finish line to me. I'd rather wipe and pull again than interrupt a melee combo. And if someone has a problem with such approach they can just not party with me.

And in casual content there is usually plenty of rez enjoyers to not bother. Even as a healer I use swiftcast for movement most of the time.
