    this is not necessarilly true, especially in this game. they got level 5 petrify, i wouldnt be surprised if they get doom later. Even FFXI began to get limited by the never supposed to die idealogy, when they started creating fights with death strategies.

    Basically, death is a viable battle mechanic, however reraise answers the question to easily. Everybody dead is essentially the balance of this game. like many have said, short cool downs on events/nms no exp loss. the only way to fail is to have everyone die. so if they add reraise it better need some more complexity than just put on and be safe

    reraise is for chumps however i think a reraise effect with a very short duration might be interesting, basically making it like a counter to death. cast reraise, last 30 seconds.

    Could get a thaum ability that kills you! that would be an interesting combo.

    But the old reraise and be safe for a half hour business, it really doesnt make sense with this game. even protect is on ashort cool down. Its a more fast paced and active game, so if they add reraise it should also be fairly active.

    I, too, believe they're probably saving the Reraise spell for white mage. Obviously the job will need some of its own unique spells and that one is a perfect fit. You don't need it when you're alone because you can always just walk back, but in a party it would make the healer even more valuable if they could get up in place and start to get everyone else back up to continue on with what you were doing.

    Please, give us Re-Raise T.T
    I die so much and no one can raise because they are trying to keep the rest of the party alive but, I was the main healer so everyone ends up dieing too. T.T

    Hope I don't have to see the spell reraise ever again. Because that means SE are making content where they're assuming so many people would wipe, even with the know-how of the battle.
