The spell [Rescue] is going to be the new blight upon Eorzea

[Hustensaft]

How i see it...

4 Man: Protect, Eye for an Eye, Swift Cast are by far the best options. Then you'll likely get Cleric Stance, and Esuna if it is required. Without Esuna, you get one more to pick. (If Divine Seal is still remotely Divine Seal, then that's a mandatory pick anyway)
8 Man: Both Healers will pick Lucid Dream, Swift Cast, Eye for an Eye. One has to take Protect. Depending on dispels requires, 0-2 have to take Esuna, then you'll once again fill with Cleric Stance and other more damage oriented abilities.

So given that you don't have room to even take it, there's hardly any reason to discuss these Rescue.

As someone who helps a lot in learning parties, I can see Rescue being useful for saving people who get confused. For instance, all those times I see someone wandering around without a clue right before the 3-way knight charge in ThordanEX. I always want to save them somehow, but power-shielding and then instant-healing them right after they take the hit into the outside ring is rarely enough to save them.

[Alistaire]

They said Rescue would only be able to be used on an ally with aggro. So I don't think it'll just be random people.

So, use it on the main tank right before boss does a big cleave? OK then.

i am lvling the WHM to pull dps into aoe (evil laught)

[Thrivaios]

I may be wrong but since we're all speculating anyway, I wonder if the person you use the ability on has to be at the top of the enmity meter? Which could reduce the "trolly" nature of it. Also if it has a long CD since we don't know the exact time just yet...

This ability exists in another mmo I played and it definitely helped with reducing enmity on those high dealing DPS. It'll have its drawbacks for sure.

[Gemina]

It has to reduce enmity. Otherwise I can't think of any reason to equip it, or how it would be useful. My concern though is if you will be able to kill another player with it. Even if it is unintentional, it seems like too dangerous an ability to be called rescue.

[Spiroglyph]

... not gonna lie, the moment i read about this one skill I immediately decided I was going to be the healer on every roulette I queue for come SB :P Just the thought of some innocent trolling with this skill in the midst of my BLM rotation is enough to make me froth at the mouth...

[GDFletcher]

Was my understanding the Rescue only applied to the person who had the #1 slot on aggro? Did I miss understand that?

I would say that 99% of the people using the Rescue skill if it can be used on others than the #1 Aggro would be to shift someone that didn't get out of an AOE pool as Larry say on his channel "Why didn't the healer adjust" well Rescue just made the other player adjust instead.

Can I see the potential for some trolls but the "newness" will wear off quickly, ponders can you Rescue the damn Chocobo

Given that BLM now has a "teleport to Ley Lines" button they probably aren't getting rid of their current one.
