Remove role action Rescue : only a tool for trolling and poor gameplay

[whiskeybravo]

Just no

My statics scholar is using it in O6S to pull me back to the boss after I took that second whirlwind-thingie by myself. I like that. Dont take it away from me.

My old SCH used to Rescue our PLD for some mechanics so he could keep uptime on boss

Guess what OP? If he or any other trolling healer wanted you dead, he would've killed you even without Rescue, by just not healing you.

Your anger is understandable, but misplaced.

I was a dps, so he wasn't healing me at all already. But I have pots and vercure.
Also, as soon I was pulling aggro, lucid and diversion, and hate was all going back to... mostly him, since he had to spam benific II on his lowly geared/not using CD/mass pulling tank buddy.
So out of frustration of me not dying to mechanics, he had to troll me.

There's a hundred million ways to troll in this game, a lot of which come from use of certain skills and abilities:

From shirking your healer to smokescreening your tank to needless provoke wars that result in entire alliances being cleaved. Do any of these skills actually need to be removed? Do the harm a few players cause by using them outweigh the gains that these abilities bring to the table?

If you remove this people will just find new and more crative ways to troll.

Just report and move along, also you can optionally choose to point and laugh at the loser that chose to waste a role skill slot for something like this.

I have been saved too many times to count is TsuEx as I usually am on the far end of the safe side for meteors.
Healers that use this properly are a godsend.

Haha, lucky you.
As OT, as I was running along the crescent to the safe spot, a healer kept dragging me in the wrong color because he was thinking I wasn't able to make it.
Had to tell him about lag and apparent/real positions after I died twice to him rescuing me.

Healers that use this properly are a godsend.

But so few !
Removing it won't handicap them much, don't worry about it lol

Now think about a healer that think he is good at it, and keeps using it with failure....

This use is really neat. Might run with rescue instead of Esuna next time. Yet to clear TsuEx.

Also, a healer doesn't need Rescue to troll you. They can choose just to literally not heal you in the fight. You know, as "punishment".

I've had this happen before. I was the only new player to Dun Scaith (rouletted into it by accident, didn't even know I had it unlocked), and died from this black pit as bard. Healers said I "did something stupid" so they refused to resurrect me until the boss was about 2/3 dead. Every time I proceeded to die after that (I died less than all the other DPS, only about four times while a couple others died maybe 10+ times, one was especially good at dying xD), they made sure to rez me last even if I was waiting the longest, and then kept making me wait. So yeah, healers can "punish" you without Rescue for whatever reason they see "fit."

It's pretty useful in the new EX primal. I don't see it used often honestly.

I also almost never see it used in casual content. I've tried it twice myself as healer, but I found my timing with it was all off and that my rescues weren't actually rescues. :'| But when Rescue is used successfully, I think it has potential to be exceptionally useful...


I'm sorry you had a shitty healer, OP. :'|

Firstly, if he wanted to let you die, you would, because he's the one healing you. Secondly, report him, don't remove a good skill from everybody just because someone used it wrong.

That was on packs, and the reason why I was "punished" : aggro problems from scatters on packs...

I will also add that when I talked to him about diversion, he said : "I don't know what you used, but stop pulling before the tank"
And before that particular pull, after I was already quite annoyed by the rescue trolling earlier.
So this is my "pulling before the tank".
- Everyone gets in boss room
- Tank starts running toward boss
- I start hardcast verthunder
- Tanks stops - steps back - steps forward - stops
- hardcast @ +2.5 sec
- tank runs back to healer
- I stop casting
- Tank starts running toward boss
- I start hardcast verthunder
- Tanks stops - steps back - steps forward - stops
- hardcast @ +2.5 sec
- tank runs back to healer
- verthunder executed, lucid + diversion
- I get hit once or twice, tank takes back aggro.

Oh and please stop saying "because you had a bad experience once"
