Question About Raising Party Members in a Fight

[Alindra]

Like others have said, if I don't raise a DPS immediately, its because I'm waiting for swiftcast to come back up.

And if more than one person is dead, my priority is the other healer > tank > dps who haven't died before > dps who have died before. But I also usually wait a couple seconds after they die to make sure I'm not rezzing the same person as someone else.

I also will rez people when it's convenient for me to rez people - so if its a high-damage part of the fight, you'll probably have to wait awhile. But IMO, it's up the whoever I'm rezzing to know when the appropriate time to accept the rez is.

Man, sometimes I want to cry when it a rough fight I finally have a few seconds, so swiftcast-raise....and they accept it to rise in a whole wagon of pain. I get it...sometimes we forget to check, cos we are so excited to get that raise...but while you're dead, you can't get hurt, so take that momment to think!

Worst though, is when I raise someone and they run straight back into the fight. Don't have the patience to wait 5 seconds for the immunity to stop, me to cure (and buff if I can). Just run on in there....dead. Again. 5 seconds, dudes, that's all you needed to give me. Five tiny seconds.

^ Yea tanks will do that all the time to me. I get it, the sooner they get back aggro, the easier it is for them. But getting back aggro is useless if they die again right away.

AS the last two posts have said, it is not up to the healer to know when to cast Raise. We res when we can. It's up to the person accepting the res to know when to accept. It really bothers me when healers get yelled at for "ressing at the wrong time" when you have the control over when to accept.

Just got raised? Better shoulder tackle into an AoE.

LOL I hate when I see that.

I ressed myself in Tumults once and the other healer was like 'nooo don't rez!', but I took my hand off the keyboard knowing full well that I wouldn't take damage until I did a skill.

Yeah, that invulnerability is useful and I definitely abuse it lol. Unfortunately, I've seen people just ignore it...I rez someone during Titan EX, they accept during a Gaol phase...all I can do is pray they don't use an action, see them do it and BAM! they're dead from the AoE...

thats because we are waiting for swiftcast, res takes a long cast time
