    Rescue: This deserves its own thread after we've have seen the tooltip and know that it does not decrease enmity. All it does is draw a player to your side. It kind of defeats the purpose of the name "Rescue", but I believe the best time to use this is after a player has been raised to immediately bring them in your range. I think we need to consult with DPS mains to let us know when, if any time they would like this done to them. Until we learn more, this too will collect dust..
    Just to point out, Break is single-target, a 25 yd range and no AoE radius. Also no one actually liked having to use Blizzard II; it was just literally all a SCH had available. If there was one thing they would like replaced, it was having to rely on a trash move that even BLM removed completely from their bar as being one of our best AoE options. Also there's no reason to homogenize healer AoE and we don't need to carbon-copy direct-damage-spam spells such as Holy like AST did. Even just an aetherize stack consuming spike attack on a cooldown would be enough, perhaps something like Exterminate from Bravely Default's arcanist class, like an AoE fester that only hits enemies effected by your Bio II. Something unique to the class design that isn't along the philosophy of "all healers should be mostly the same" (that's not fun design).

    Also in terms of Rescue, from the tooltip it has a 30 yd range, so if they're close enough to rescue they're already close enough to heal.

    While the tooltips may have changes since the San Francisco thing, you can see them as they were in a video here: https://youtu.be/3MqlCEiT-04
    You can see the Japanese tooltips in the Famitsu article at the top here as well: https://www.famitsu.com/news/201705/...4.html?page=11
