Ways to use rescue.

Your experience isn't everyone's experience here... Yes tanks probably do that, but there are a good majority of healers in my experience that just aren't good.

Responding to a passive aggressive and overdramatic reply to the post that you're actually replying to is even worse than just clipping part of the pointless, ranting book you vomited out.

If you think that I (or anyone) is talking about specifically placing a healing ground effect in a place that makes no sense and then rescuing them into said effect I really don't think you're even attempting to be fair or objective, you've just made up your mind and now you're going to stubbornly stick to your guns as if they aren't actually a huge strawman you constructed to argue against.

Maybe you don't heal. If so I could excuse you not understanding the consistency with which tanks/dps and even other healers on 8/24man content ignore healing ground effects. If so that's fine but then what are you doing in a topic asking you specifically about ways you use rescue?

If you do heal and you want to claim people aren't complete imbeciles about healing ground effects I'm left to assume you're a bad healer because you don't notice the obvious issue.

Either one makes your opinion on the topic worthless, please find the door.

If you'd like to respond to me again try quoting my post instead of another hyperbolic caricature of a skill in a video game as somehow taking away your free will.

I'll also use Rescue to move tanks into position if they're doing something that's making it harder for the party, like letting Aiatar sit in the poison pools, or stopping in the middle of the frostbite gale in Snowcloak.

Pull people to safety, cancel animation locks, if a tank repeatedly stands outside of placed heals I might pull them in. When discussed ahead of time it can be used as a mobility tool to maximize uptime.

Just you wait there will be another thread soon :)

I rarely use rescue when I play heals. I am not a main heals and only did it for mentor status to help new players, (I was so close to being finished and then they changed the requirements for mentor. Idk if I want to grind it anymore lol.) However, when I do use it...it's to troll. I will pull people out of position and pull the stacked marker away from the group. I will pull you while we are running to the objective. Just trying to pass the time lol.

PUT
DA
TANK
IN
DA
BUBBLE

Want to know?

Remove it from the game, very few use it for good, I have seen people pull tank off the edge just to wipe the entire party or even yank them into aoe's on purpose.
To those who use it correctly will defend it but you cannot defend those who use it the wrong way.

It gets old because every other dungeon has that one person who is itching to cause problems who doesn't care and they don't get in trouble due to the fact its a mechanic in the game.
best option is either remove it or remove the option for it to target tanks.

Not sure if "every other dungeon" is just hyperbole, but its definitly not my experience - I can count the times someone used Rescue on me on one hand (outside of pre-planned, coordinated use within my static). I'd say 40% was someone trying out that new button, 50% was someone who was at least well meaning and stopped to use when they were asked not to (had a couple of healers panic-rescuing my bard during EX-trials - it seems fair enough to me that they didnt know/assume that I had my backflip lined up to jump into position at the last moment) and 10% were accidents.
During most of my runs I dont even see a Rescue at all - if you have a Rescue-troll in every other dungeon, you're eitehr greatly exaggerating, an extremly unlucky person or... you know... if something happens to you all the time, but to other people less so, one has to ask what the common factor is in all those troll filled runs...

What's with Rescue recently ..?

Patch 5.3 has been delayed so people have to talk about something. We have 3 threads on the topic and will probably get more before the patch hits servers.
