Rescue is Griefing

[Aneshda]

We need the option to choose if a Healer can cast Rescue on us.
I know what I do and don't want to be rescued.
If I die. then let it be my problem. I saw to many Healers using rescue on me.
They pulled my Char in Aglaia Raid into the Fire, rescue me out of a save situation into AOE's and so on.
No other Char / Job should have an ability to pull my Char into something.
And if Rescue is needet, then hey why not every Job get that Spell? Would be just fair.

I'm not a fan of it either because I don't make mistakes often enough to justify using it on me...so when it's used...it's usually to get me killed.

That said...I've seen it used on others and have used it myself to great affect.

Rescue is one of those abilities that falls under two categories:

1. You are a good player who is aware what is happening...so rescue is useless to use on you so you'll only really see it for griefing.

2. You are a decent player who gets distracted sometimes...and thus rescue is mostly used on you to GREAT success.

In short...the better player you are...you'll mostly only see it for griefing cause YOU are doing things right. The more you lack however...the more you'll see it used correctly.

That’s…not how utility works…

Just because something is needed doesn’t mean every job needs to have access to it. Healers having it makes the most sense, given how their primary responsibility is keeping people alive. Why would a melee DPS need that? Or a physical ranged? Or a caster? Or a tank?

It’s a niche ability. It’s not *needed* in the sense that it’s *required*—but it does have some very effective uses. Don’t blame the tool because of how some players use it.

the problem isnt so much griefing its justthe way it works and the server ticks..

there's a lag in using it which really doesnt help matters. as it often means a healer will use it early while the dps technically still has time to get out of stupid themselves. this creates situations where the healer presses rescue and the dps starts to run left to get out of the stupid, but then gets pullsd to the right, and right back into the stupid.

the other issue is it doenst pull players to you, only near you. which in some cases isnt enough, sometimes those mechanical safe spots can be quite small. . ideally it should warp players to you not slide them to you.

i kinda think blms aetherial manipulation should be the same. a warp not a slide. because its quite common to eat the hit as you slide through. a warp would at least avoid that..

i have seen some funny rescues though.. one of them was in endisnger where the blue planets punted me off the arena. and on my screen i was like 2" off the arena beginning to fall to my doom and suddenly i got pulled back onto the platform alive.. just the weirdness that comes from server ticks..

You got it. As it's your problem should we let you rez at the start of the instance? Pretty sure my mana is better used to dps than rez someone who chose to die.

Like I said, then let us choose if we want to be rescued or not. A simple thing under options.

Then I take it you don't want to be rezzed then either? :P Fine, just like Seredeelfer said... our mana is best used to DPS than rez someone who chooses to die

Obviously so I can pull people who complain about rescue in front of the boss, right before the cleave buster. They already took away our ability to shirk annoying dps, give me a new tool to get them killed lol.

That’s fine. As long as those who choose not to be Rescued do not start blaming the healers when they die or aren’t healed because they’re too far away. Most of my Rescues are to pull people into range of my healing because they want to hang out in Narnia. If you choose to be there and choose to not get healed or Rescued into healing range, please accept responsibility for that. I get tired of being blamed for the BLM or the BRD not getting healed when they’re too far away and miss all of my AOE heals. That isn’t a healer problem.

Imagine not being able to read your healer's mind and popping Surecast/Arm's Length right before they can slam their little fingers on the Rescue button
