Delete rescue from the game.

[romah]

I don't see anything childish enough in my message that would lead to some "grow up" advices. That said, reporting people make sense and I'm doing it but I don't want to waste 10min each time some healer pull me when I'm trying to get my uptime because "he/she wanted to save me".

It's just like I said, I don't need saving. You're not making sense when you pull a sprout without explaining him anything. Before rescue was added to the game, healers would take the time to "educate" you BY COMMUNICATING if you're doing something wrong, now they just pull you without warning and as far as I'm concerned, I'm getting pulled even tho I'm not taking damage or failing anything as a melee. I'm getting pulled as tank even when there's nothing left to pull, when asking "what more do you want to pull?" I'm getting the following answer "the wall".

No I don't want to waste 10min each time some random abuse this abilty, especially since I've got no way of knowing if it actually has any effect at all. There's no point in rescuing people, stop saving them and let them learn.

You're fine. The Healer Forum here is just super salty and tend to attack people for not liking things they like.

Rescue is kind of a bad ability in the game right now. I'm not even against it because of it being grief capable, more the implementation has the same half-second lag that Benediction does. Multiple times I've used it to save someone, only for their dead body to slide to my feet after they get hit by the mechanic anyway. It's just not a good ability, and we could honestly have something different in its place.

Assert your dominance by using Arm's Length/Surecast to counter the Rescue attempts

Also this.

EDIT: The one consistent use I've found for it is Hunt Trains. Namely Yulan in Thav, Holder in Laby, and potentially both Mousse and Sabotender Marks on the moon. Yulan and Mousse both have seduce then 1HKO attacks, and Holder and Sab debuff and then large attack (Sabs is 1HKO, Holder's can be survivable with enough gear). You just have to time it late enough (but not TOO late) for the seduces otherwise the player's character will run back into the effect.

But that's honestly the only consistent use I've found for Rescue. Otherwise it gets people killed as often as it helps people. And I just hate yank abilities in general. I DESPISE the yank abilities in PvP, especially Frontlines since there's no defense (it seems to go through Guard) and you can get pulled 10-20y into the middle of the enemy deathball and instantly deleted, which is just stupid and not in any way engaging or enjoyable gameplay (crowd control effects in PvP are, in general, stupidly OP to the point of making the game mode entirely unfun, but the push/pull/yank are all the worst offenders.)

Yeah the lag tends to be a reason I don't use it that often.

I don't have a particular problem with it staying but if they did get rid of it and gave us something else, I know exactly what I'd want. Something I've wished a lot recently that we had. AoE Esuna.
