Raise Delay

[Riko_113]

Because Raise/Resurrection can be cast in combat, it would be extremely overpowered if it didnt have a drawback too it. (More than the 15% decreased stats for 1 min).
This makes ressing someone a tactical move that requires some planning and timing.

Some fights there isn't really a 'tactical' way to do it though. Final boss of brayflox, Final boss of ST, CC, SV, Dzemael. This game uses red zone mechanics as the main form of difficulty and it only gets worse as difficulty increases. There's often times that a safe zone just isn't safe long enough to for someone to be rez'd in. Granted, as a healer, I think they should've been avoiding them in the first place to avoid dying but shit happens. I've saved many fights with appropriate swiftcast+raise but have had more raises than that go to waste from allies getting 1shotted right after they get up. And WHM don't have unlimited mana to waste on it, so it's a pain in the butt.

Edit: and as far as additional drawbacks, the massive chunk of mana loss from the healer to raise significantly shortens the length of time the fight can safely go on. That's a huge drawback.

Dude I've laughed so hard when this happens. It's one of the funniest / roughest things to endure but man does it make the dungeon totally worth it.

Haha true. Especially when they are a stubborn player that doesn't take suggestions. Watching their health hit 0 over and over does sorta make my day.

Update: This one is mostly for Trancery since he loves ironic deaths. I was running Ifrit HM last night and people were not dodging bad stuff so it wasn't going well and when it came down to everyone dead except me I hit Limit Break 3 and brought everyone back thinking "I'm an awesome healer, look at that timing!"...so Ifrit starts an eruption and wipes the entire team while we're all nicely bunched and stuck in LB/Raise animation. The whole team was laughing so hard because it couldn't have gone worse. :/
