You have three to seven other players, and the ability is on a 120sec CD. If I was a troll, I would be saying this ability sucks to troll with.

It is not my intention to invalidate the experiences other players have had with the healers in their groups, but what I can tell you is that any healer who cares about getting a clear isn't going to recklessly use up what is quite honestly a true 'oh crap' button. What I will say is that your perspective needs to expand beyond around just you, because, "Stoopid healer messing up muh deeps!" isn't going to carry enough merit to warrant deleting this skill from the game.

I for one can say I have prevented both player KOs and full on wipes with this skill. I've also had a lot of botched attempts (most of which the player was dead anyway, and my hesitation to use rescue ultimately had them die when I could have saved them). This skill can literally define how aware a healer is of any particular encounter, and in prog parties it can be used to cheese some mechanics (something I don't condone, but understand).

In short, the benefit far outweighs whatever detrimental troll behaviour that is happening out there. Report healers who are misusing the ability. Even if you feel this futile, it still sends the message to the healer and everyone in the group.
