Please spread the word: you are INVINCIBLE after accepting a non-LB raise.

[Cidel]

*sigh* Yeah, it's pretty bad. You raise a DPS (or anything really, but it happens to DPS the most), they decide to get up like 2 seconds right before some big raid-wide damage-


-and then you notice they immediately popped Fists of Fire, Aetherflow, Battle Litany or I-have-to-always-be-pressing-a-button buff...





Guess who's back on the floor. Typical 24-man raid behavior.

If you're raised inside ghost blocks on savage I think you die automatically regardless of invincibility, but for good reason probably.

Yeah, you do... I've had people rage at me for not accepting a rez from them when I see them rez me in the middle of the platform where the ghosts %£$^ing spawned...

I'm one of those DPS...

I was doing Byakko Ex on SAM when I didn't watch my aggro/or the tank didn't provoke in time for Highest Stakes and I got grabbed and slammed. When I got the raise, my DPS instincts told me to smash that accept button and start my combo up again, but I was at 10-20% HP and died right away to some AoE because I wasn't topped off.

It doesn't happen that often when I'm on DRG but I'm so focused on making up my lost DPS that I don't often consider the right time to Raise myself.

[Risvertasashi]

Yeah... I have to explain this all too often. A buff icon with an explanatory tooltip would be very welcome.

A lot of the time when to accept isn't as important as not doing any action (except maybe movement). In the example above, had you waited until after the aoe went out, it would have done 0 damage to you and your healers would have had time to heal you back up.

Some bosses also completely ignore the invulnerability given by being raised as well. Off the top of my head Ex Death's White Hole just doesn't care, Neo's emptiness patterns don't care about your invuln and Byakko's blast after you free fall couldn't give a shite either. It's not commonplace but don't be surprised if you get griefed through your invuln by a specific boss mechanic.

I agree though there really should be a type of buff or debuff that indicates this.

Basically this. My experience has always been that if you move or perform any action, your Rez-immunity goes away. But there are also mechanics that just outright ignore it. Can confirm that both Exdeath’s White Hole and Black Hole, and Neo’s Emptiness ignore Rez-immunity. Never forget that time I raised, and as the animation was finishing, Exdeath cast Black Hole and I took 85,000 damage before I could even attempt to move away. :’) Not much you can do about that, though, since Black Hole spawn locations are random, and you raise wherever the healer (or RDM/SMN) was when they Raised you.

No they aren’t; I can clearly see people when they are ressed.

Not entirely sure what is meant by this. If you’re insinuating there isn’t Rez-immunity, there is. It just has a 5~10 second duration (if even that), is ignored by some major mechanics, and goes away if you move or perform any action. There’s just nothing in the game that tells you about it, but if you’ve ever raised, and then stood completely still during some raid-wide AOE and saw you took 0 damage, that’s Rez-immunity at work.

I think they confused invincible with invisible.
