!! Fix Healer Rescue

[Theodric]

It's tricky enough for AST in a party with another AST to glance at the party list to avoid overwriting other-AST's cards in the heat of battle, especially once you have a lot of buffs and debuffs on that bar. And with Rescue's wonky timing, given any scenario where you genuinely need Rescue, things are probably at a point where taking the time to find that "Don't Rescue Me" debuff amongst everything else probably means you've now taken too long for Rescue to work anyway.

If they removed or adjusted Rescue, I'd actually be less likely to bother healing. I feel more confident healing people when I know I have such an ability to lean on in an emergency.

It's also not the only ability that affects other players. There's the likes or provoke and shirk, which adjust enmity. Technically speaking, players could abuse such abilities as well - to steal or misdirect aggro during the heat of battle. Yet that doesn't mean they should be removed from the game, or disabled with a toggle since they're integral to surviving certain mechanics such as tank swaps.

I never said they did. People are suggesting I instruct the Healer on what situations he should/shouldn't use Rescue beforehand, which is something I'd have to do every roulette and something that could easily start a fight.

Well, you could just get over it. That option is free and doesn't cost anyone anything. But you don't strike me as the type to just let go of small things.

For once we agree on something. One thing I love about healing is making snap decisions to save someone. I've been thanked a number of times for it, so I'd really rather not have it be removed.
