    Since it's implementation, I've personally never seen it used as a trolling tool(then again, I queue as healer for like 80% of everything), so... anecdotal vs anecdotal?

    The chances to use it for clutch saves are far and few in-between, but they happen. And it feels good when you drag someone out of an impending AoE or mechanic (and they acknowledge you for it). I find it too niche though, as many times you have to anticipate or even predict that your victimtarget will fail to move out of harm's way- and this is in part probably a fault of the server tics/lag/whatever; it's pretty difficult to use on-reaction because it's not dependable under those circumstances. It's... an ability that means well, but I won't deny it can feel clunky.

    Currently my most satisfying uses for it are/were helping people on Rabanatre's Final Bosses' Gnawing Dread (with the one safe zone), sitting 2/3 on those geysers that need 3 people during Mateus and grabbing a 3rd body if nobody is getting the message, and if I see someone with the same HP level as me during the Construct fight and is not standing in the correct spot.



    But yes, I'm sure people can use this for trolling, but I find way more healers forget this skill even exists and smart usage of it seems to separate the good healers from the "just okay" ones. After all, nothing says "I'm paying attention" like forcibly dragging someone out of a lethal mechanic.

    Did it many times in those fights and it works great. Of course its a bit situational, but i find it quite useful in those special situations.

    I can feel ops rage if im playing tank cls in dailys or raids and random healer use it on me without asking... if its not trolling its just not well thought grabbing the tank out of his positional and cooldown-plans. Still laughing about one healer who "rescued" me with a stack marker which I planned to eat with holy ground = he killed half of the grp and blamed... me ^^'

    rescue is indeed a two edged sword in casual content... but can be a mighty tool in organized teamplay how so ever.
