Suggestion: Add a disable option for Rescue

I feel like this is more confirmation bias than anything. I don't personally use it all that much myself when healing, so much so that I tend to forget I have it. But I have used it to good effects, most recently to deal with a tank not bothering to move for Tidal Wave in e3 and to show tanks new to e4 where to stand for certain mechanics.

This is not often taken that way though. What happens is the person is suddenly somewhere else and has to mentally reorient, and may likely have blown a cooldown in a now bad spot or have lost a few GCDs from their rotation and need to re-evaluate what still lines up.

And they may not know why even after whatever you saved them from hits - the camera shift and mental wtf will both possibly block them from learning...

Communication or just letting them eat the debuff a few times is better.

I was on call with the tanks new to e4, so that was never in issue, and I would rather keep the MT alive (No cooldowns used, since I moved him and nothing saves you from falling off if Rescue can trigger) than allow them to die just to learn. The fact I rescued the e3 tank 3 times for Tidal Wave shows that they clearly never learned even after it should have been obvious.

Never once used Rescue on my healer jobs as the only times it was used on me were from trolls. I am with the camp that says do away with it as I see no real use especially with getting it to work right with bad connections and such.

If rescue worked for the shadowbringer dungeon to get across that one empty floor mechanic then yea it would be useful but otherwise nope.

In a few savage fights rescue is actually mandatory for some strats (see: o12s and unreal strat) it also has a use for melee DPS that just used LB to get them out of the animation lock faster so they can get back to DPSing. So to say it has no use outside of trolling is wrong. Maybe it's not as useful as it should be, because server ticks are honestly ass in this game, but it does have its uses.

I don't do savage so didn't know about that as yea I agree animation locks can suck.

that's why i said it should be a warp to healer tool instead of a move to healer tool. be much more functional and useful
