I'm all for rescue getting removed/reworked. Even when used in good faith it can cause even more damage, some of which the rescuer wont even realize.

Say I'm playing black mage and an aoe appears under me, I know that I can sit in the aoe and can safely slidecast out of it in time. However, the healer uses rescue from the other side of the map. This not only interrupts the cast, but also drags me through other aoes causing me to get hit anyways, and also render me unable to refresh my timers in some cases. I think the worst part is the lack of trust, and lack of accountability on the healers part. In their eyes they did nothing wrong.

I've had situations where the healer does it on purpose in a genuine attempt to be useful, while not understanding the damage they are causing. And others where its a complete accident, fat fingering rescue while trying to use benison or other mitigation in case someone gets hit.

Of course the worst is when actual greifers get their hands on it. Like using rescue to yoink a tank with a cleave into the party stack, and even then they get the convenient excuse of "oops tee-hee fat fingered rescue"

I guess I'm also just upset that this healer "utility" skill survived, when other utility skills get deleted like virus, eye for an eye, largesse, hell even SB cleric stance just to name a few. Meanwhile the janky, unreliable, upsetting ability that disrupts other people stays.
