Delete rescue from the game.

This was in Warcraft for quite a while and it never fizzled Hunter Misdirect, Rogue Tricks of the Trade and Priest Leap of Faith (equivalent to Rescue but better fixes to it). In most cases, I don't turn it on by default. I only do so if it is clear the use of the abilities are done horribly with trolling. Can't remember needing to use it much myself, but I have seen other tanks default to it in dungeons to show that it did happen before. Even if it is trolling, I have a tolerance to it if it is harmless.

Rescue is plenty useful for when someone does the mechanic wrong, it effectively saves them from their demise (should said mechanic kill that person). Of course you can use it to troll but it is still on a large enough cooldown to stop that from happening nonstop. You could argue that there are mechanics that people don't require saving from as they can withstand the hit...and that's fair but is it worth the chance of death? Death gives you a stat down debuff...

I wouldn't want to lose rescue. It's a great skill for pulling people who are mid-animation (Revives and LB3) to a safe zone.

If anything, it would be cool to see fights that required or were made easier for using it.

Imagine removing the only skill in healers' toolkit that is both fun, rewarding and requires some decision making on the fly. Way to dig us an even deeper hole.

Also trolls will be trolls, and I don't know what luck people have to get pulled left and right, I literally never meet ill intentioned healers who do that.

Until dps and tanks stop dying to the very obvious instant death mechanic because they would rather dps til death instead of actually dodging the easy to dodge mechanic, then rescue stays. On the flip side though, I dislike rescue when playing as a tank because there is always that one healer who ends up using it on me because I didn't move to the spot they moved to, despite still being safe from the instant death, and end up dead because the healer decided I needed to be rescued to their spot and end up getting caught in the instant death when I would have lived if the healer had just not did anything. I don't fret about it though, at the end of the day, this is just a game and it is a waste of energy to be legit angry over something like that. I've never once had a healer who intentionally used rescue to troll, both as a dps and tank. Usually it's always just being used because the healer doesn't trust me as a tank to survive, or uses it to try and save me as a dps from something I either didn't know about or was zoning out and not paying enough attention at the moment.

We can delete rescue when random pugs stop playing like they're blind

"fun, rewarding"

Uh.......wut? o.O

It never ceases to amaze me the hills people will die on. And bash people in the process if they can.

"Fun" and "Rewarding" are both subjective. We all get to decide for ourselves what qualifies. It should definitely cease to amaze you that people with differing opinions aren't willing to change them for you.

Easy there, skippy, where did I ask anyone to change their opinions? Maybe you need to not put words in people's mouths.

Yes, fun and rewarding are subjective.

Pressing a button once every 20th fight because one person on one occasion stood where they shouldn't have, even if it was somehow the most fun thing that ever existed for all of Human history, isn't exactly some hill to die on or bash people over.

Also: I'll note you did the very thing I said, dying on this hill and bashing people in the process. Thanks for proving me right, I suppose? /shrug

[NobleWinter]

We clearly have different definitions for "bashing people." For me that means making a personal insult like calling someone stupid or ridiculous. I don't feel like any personal insult was made but it's not up to me to decide how you feel. This does shed light on why you seem to feel so victimized by the forums here tho.
