    Please consider altering the animation for the Rescue ability

    This ability is just really hard to understand. You never know when its coming or to be able to handle it in a random group. Even in coordinated groups it needs to be planned out because it is so jarring. As a player it throws me into a mini panic attack, my heart sinks, and I genuinely do get worried wondering what mechanic I forgot that sent me flying. There is NO clear indication to the receiving player of what is happening, you just go sliding across the area for what feels like no reason at all.

    Other mmos that have used similar abilities had very clear visual cues. They used things like a line extending from the caster to the target, or other visual cues on the target themselves to signify, hey rescue was used on you.

    The one for rescue is way too obscure and with the ability paladins get at level 70, I'm sure you can do a bit more for it to make it clear to the target of the caster what is happening. If someone uses rescue on me, it should be immediately apparent that is what happened. I've tried using this ability on players and most of the time they stop, look around, or type in chat asking what just happened, or what they got hit by.

    Consider making it more visually apparent when rescue has been used on you so we can tell what is going on rather than it being the jarring experience it is now. Thank you!

    It's nice in Susano EX, dealing with LB animation lock, heck leveling up I used it to pull people out of the AoE after Seduce on the second boss. It's definitely a neat skill.
