Brainstorming Fun: Alternatives to Rescue

[Sigma5]

Opt out of being targeted is the ideal solution as you can also be opted out of being emote slapped for example or being put in cringey custom emotes. Another example of why blacklist features should be expanded. alternatively it could be switched for another general skill might be called brace for impact it reduces target health to 20 percent and 5 sec paralysis but survives the aoes or effect and has the same cooldown as rescue.

I won't reiterate my already-plentiful and easily-found commentary about how gutting Rescue but keeping it around is worse than just getting rid of it to replace it with something useful.

But I will point out that, as unintended side effects go, "opt out of being targeted" would also prevent you from receiving any single-target heals or shields. Or, for that matter, a Rez.

(Or dance partner. Or the no-longer-a-tether dragoon tether. Etc.)

Which I suspect is not the desired goal.
