Healers who rescue pull tanks into mobs.

[Awha]

i found large pulling to be stresssful because of auto bots type playstyles. as in.. ppl so jaded by their level they run on auto pilot and assume all tanks can handle things. I actually made a macro to turn off regen mid pull. it makes no sense to regen before pull

mmo require communication. not assumptions.

If you are quick with your aoe, having a regen placed on you is not the end of the world and it does free up an extra gcd or two during the start of the pull after they have been gathered. Far from ideal, and could be a tad annoying especially when mobs are widely spaced apart, but at times regen pre pull can be handy when it comes to allowing a healer to get some extra damage in.

Overall though this would be less of an issue I think if people just used the vote kick feature more. Somewhat relevant story an FC member asked if someone heal for them because they got vote kicked from a two different groups. I was bored so said sure, right off the bat I notioned why they were removed after the 5 min mark. This man was slow, being as they were an FC member i had a tad more tolerate so I tried to help them out but they shared this classic view tanks set the pace, larger pulls are stressful, his rig could not handle it etc . . .

I ended up voting to remove an FC member, truth be tols talking and requesting things of strangers personally is just too much of a hassle. Sure you may be told sure but you also may be ignored or told to fuck off. I rather avoid that situation all together and ho with the vote kick method hopefully sooner or later the person will learn or find like minded players that align with them more.

I admit it... I just tried to Rescue pull a tank into more mobs. The tank was pulling mobs one at a time and it was taking forever, a dungeon that should take around 20 minutes was close to 40 minutes. So yes, I broke down and tried it... but I failed.


Thancred is immune to Rescue.


Little bit of humor for all of you

P.S. This is a solo dungeon mode called Trusts for level 71 to 80 content. Nobody else was in there except me.

Fun fact.
Thancred is almost immortal.
I've seen him tank a dungeon boss just fine after the trust healer somehow managed to die (they can't seem to handle multiple AoEs, they'll dodge the first, but stand right in any concurrent ones)
He'll also cheerfully tank as many packs as you care to pull to him....but the miserable trust DPS will still take forever to down them

Having the option to toggle on/off "allow healer rescue" is an excellent idea.

I really dislike Rescue, if just because it's an instant cast and as a healer sometimes I click it on accident. I watched myself yank a tank all the way to me for no reason at all, and while it's only happened the one time I recall it's still something I feel bad about (even if we cleared it fine in the long run). I'm not sure I see much point to it myself.

I dislike it too, as a BLM. There's been a few occasions now where I've had a healer use it on me mid-cast thus messing up my flow, for a mechanic I was going to AM out of, with my mouse cursor already hovering over my "escape route"... nevermind the ones standing in the bad, pulling me into it so I can enjoy the experience side by side them. The only time I like it is in PVP, if you find one who's taken it.

How about we replace Rescue with Stasis: Stuns the target and gives them invulnerability for 5 seconds. 5 minute reuse timer.

If you want big pulls ask for them; otherwise I assume you're just going to get everyone killed if I pull wall to wall.

If you're a tank and your default method of pulling is not "pull until a wall stops you" then you aren't tanking properly. The rare time that I play DPS I have no interest to make a 15 minute dungeon run take 35 minutes because some random tank thinks pulling one pack at a time is okay.

"If you want big pulls then ask for them."

This game needs some kind of literacy test.

No, if you *don't* want to pull big then say so; or if you're the healer then ask if the tank would pull smaller for you. Otherwise, deal with it. Large pulls are standard.
