Right now, when someone is raised, he likely has no idea where the healer, and when he accepts it, he'd be tractored to the location of the healer where he would be raised.

The problem, apart from being vulnerable (which I personally find ok), is the possibility of a detrimental ground effect/an enemy aoe that is being cast to be exactly where such a person is raised, and right now, there is absolutely no way for the raise-ee to avoid it.

I don't see what they could do
the best is just to to click "accept" as soon as the raise pop-up and wait until you believe it is a good timing

it could be possible to leave a visual marker on the raiser's location when they casted raise. Of course, it should only be visible to the raisee

Visual markers don't mean anything.. I want to be able to move my character... Either make the person completely invincible through the whole animation, or lose the animation. It takes 6 seconds or so to go through the animation, the last 3 of which you can be killed instantly by a boss move that you can do NOTHING to avoid. Luck of timing shouldn't be part of game mechanics.

It's up to the healer to raise you in a sensible location and for you to accept at a good time i.e. don't accept a raise when the boss is about to do a party wide aoe.

This goes double for LB3 Healing Wind.

the rez animation lock is silly and archaic.

Actually, visual markers alone are enough, or sometimes its not necessary, you just need to know when to accept the raise. Although i do agree that a healer's LB3 is somewhat worthless when people ress on void zones anyway and die immediately after.

In a dungeon with lack of room such as Primals, there is not time to "wait". If and only if the healer has time to raise you, you have to get back into action ASAP. The only reason a healer should be resurrecting a DPS is if there is a lack of Damage in a short time frame (like Titan Heart), 1 healer is dead, or MT is dead.

So it takes 2.5 sec to cast Rez, then 6 sec for rez animation plus the variable time it takes to avoid raising in an AoE. 90% of the time, you will die basically making it a waste to raise.

I agree with the invulnerability during the time that you are raised but can't even move. With that, the instant a player can move, they can be more responsible about dodging AoEs.

Just to point out, Raises have a time limit on when you can accept. Not sure how long it is but I tried this trick, waiting for the right chance and whatever. Basically, you have a certain limit of time on the raise, otherwise it goes bye-bye.
