Rescue needs changed and/or removed

[althenawhm]

It gets removed from the game all together (Not very likely to happen)

Actually I think it is fairly likely, the devs sure dont shy away from deleting healer moves.

Rescue is one of the biggest troll buttons in the game. I get it's usefulness when used properly, but too often it's used to troll people and kill them for "fun".

I would like one of 2 things to happen to rescue:

1. It gets removed from the game all together (Not very likely to happen)
2. They add an option to your user settings that will either allow or deny Rescue to work on you.

Please SE, can we make this happen? I'm really tired of being killed by trolling Healers.

I don't know about you, but I use it a lot to save people during runs in LoTA. It's very useful when people are new to a run and healers are saving them from a mechanic they aren't aware of, or when needing to rescue a BLM who doesn't want to move from his leylines and wants to finish casting that Fire spell and rather eat another mechanic than stop casting. And yes, if I see the tank just a couple of steps AWAY from my AoE Ground heal that's about to detonate, you bet I'm going to rescue them into that heal.

The only times I've seen healers misuse rescue is when you piss them off or intentionally troll them. Don't piss off your healers. They are not healbots who will adjust to your every whim - they're players.

If they take away RDM's backflips since they backflip over the stage, or BLM's Leylines/between the lines, Aetherial Manipulation to encourage BLM to start dodging mechanics and any other job with a disposition, I'll be fine if they took away healer's rescue.
Sounds like a terrible idea? That's because it is. Rescue can be very useful when used correctly, but so can RDM's backflips to dodge mechanics. However, just because they can cause deaths, doesn't mean their usage should be taken away. The same thing applies here. I've seen way more good on rescue than bad exactly because of how many people who just refuse to do mechanics or stand in AoE Heals.

You want to take away BLM's movement tools that they use to dodge mechanics and get back into position quickly as a way to encourage them to dodge more? Hello? Are you okay?

I like how you would selectively not read the other part on the bottom but sure.
At any rate, my point still stands. Rescue's benefits outweigh the its bad points and should not be removed.
