[devs] Please Make Rescue Fair

[Ogulbuk]

When they're healers? Not in my experience.

I kick troll healers. But then again, I tend to roll tank.

[RLofOBFL]

It's a 150(was it 180 idr) CD. You can see it in a mouseover somewhere in the LL video.

[SecretCrowds]

I probably wouldn't even have it as one of my role abilities. I have better abilities to choose from and a silly pull isn't one of it.

If you are that worried about healers using the pull to make you die, then all I can say is not to worry. If I really want you to die, I'll just not heal you.

[Duelle]

This move is going to be abused. People will pull you into aoes to troll.

If the healer pulls you into an AoE, that means that the healer will also be inside the AoE. So if it's a one-hit-you-die AoE, both of you die, the raid leader would see the healer is trolling and then warn them or kick them.

Omg, it's 3 minutes long. Stop getting your knickers in a twist.

lol I <3 you ErryK

To OP, yes there will be people who troll, and those who will demand Rescue to be used on them and them only... for the former I'd tell them to pack it in (only in 8-man stuff, I'd be the other healer), try to resist doing it back to them because they're being a douche lol, or report/kick. As for the latter, just tell them that it has a three minute cool down, and that when it's ready, whoever needs it most will get first priority. In otherwords OP try not to think the worst, wait and see what happens, I had the same thoughts myself, not all innocent ones lol (pulling mouthy rude players into aoe is far too tempting devs, seriously lol).

[KDSilver]

There are too many real useful skill to choose as a healer (like protect, esuna, mp regen, heal boost) to bother taking rescue for trolling only.
It'll only be fun to do it with friend on dungeons maybe, but the 150s CD will not allow you to spam it so...

I think we are safe from abuse.

[Chocolys]

This move is going to be abused. People will pull you into aoes to troll. They'll also demand that you use it, and there will be fall out. Please make it so that the move can only be used so often. Perhaps it should be a one to two minute cool down, and maybe even usable once per dungeon.

Trolls don't need a skill to do that. They can just run to you with some meteor or equivalent on their head and drop it on you. Or they can simply mess up mechanics on purpose to cause a wipe. If there is a troll, just votekick him. It does not matter the method used for trolling.
If the Dev had to remove everything that could be used for trolling, there will be not much left to play

I've been playing SWTOR where there is similar Rescue spells, and for sure between friends in pre-made parties, we've been using it for fun to try and kill each other during non critical phases, but always "consensually". Any random player who would use it for trolling and messing up a raid would quickly get the boot and end up on the ban list.

[Kazrah]

They even put in a remedy for it by playing black mage.

[Yeol]

Other MMOs have a similar ability and it is working fine for them. If people abuse it or troll simply vote kick and report. No one in their right mind would want to get banned and lose their account for such a silly reason.
