    The one time I used it, I noticed one big fat huge no no about it: It has a delay before activation. This rendered it useless to me and especially dangerous the one on the receiving end of it. Basically it's swiftcast all over again. I should have expected this from the jump though, because if it's anything like Skyrim's movement functions, Rescue needs to calculate 6 positions before the movement begins.

    Most times it has been used on me though were like "why?", the most recent one was being "rescued" into an AST healing circle, even though I was already running towards it.

    This is pretty much why very few healers use Rescue. Most of the time, it simply doesn't go off quick enough.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
