[devs] Please Make Rescue Fair

[Natashio]

I'm reading these threads on this Rescue ability and I kind of just put on that random expression whenever I hear Trump tweets his bullshit, while I wonder why is this even needed in this game.
I really wish these developers would stop playing WoW, Tera, LoR, such and such and maybe play a bit more of FFXI, I'll get into this in a bit.
So if I'm going to get this straight...are WHM now going to be removed from bosses' range AoE mechanics so they can just stand still during an entire fight and "Rescue" players out of AoE's. I mean this is the only way this is going to have some functionality. "But wait..I see that you're a caster and I need you to be closer to me so I can cast a heal spell before you die or something like that. I'll just pull you closer while you're in mid cast of a long casting spell, screw up your damage, but hey I just saved you." All arenas, exception being 24 men'ers, are so small that something like this is not even necessary. I guess they have ran out of idea for useful WHM abilities, so hey let's put this random ability from WoW (case you're wondering, I never played the game. Bless my heart).
Now, if they would of gone the route of FFXI BLM spell "Tractor", which pulls a player's corpse to the location of the caster. So that the healer can than raise the player in an area of relative safety. Now I see this as a useful ability in large arenas so that the WHM can just pull the out of range dead player in range of the Raise spell and raise.

Personally, I don't think that trolling with this ability is going to be the epidemic that many seem to expect. However, that said...

"But wait..I see that you're a caster and I need you to be closer to me so I can cast a heal spell before you die or something like that. I'll just pull you closer while you're in mid cast of a long casting spell, screw up your damage, but hey I just saved you."

While I never had any intention of trolling with this ability, gaining the power to... "assist" that bloody BLM who insists on standing miles away from my aoe cures is going to be mighty tempting... A message to ranged DPS can casters everywhere, stand a few yalms away from the boss and from each other player, and you're FINE. You don't need to stand in another county to avoid aoe damage, and doing so pretty much doubles the healer's workload and/or greatly increases your own chance of death by neglected heals.
