The Rescue Skill Has to Go

[TheForce]

I'm a PLD at raid level, thanks very much, a quick glance at my lodestone would tell you that. Shirk is an ability that gives 25% of your aggro to target party member, forcibly manipulating their enmity against their will. I could use it to kill party members who I didn't like if I were MT. A quick shirk, death, voke.

I like how vague, yet patronising, your comment is "you are wrong, I won't tell you why, but please stop posting until you have learned to tank".

Exactly, only 25%. Meaning once a good amount of aggro is established, if you shirk somebody, they're not getting full aggro, so nothing would even happen. Shirk is not a "instant main aggro switch" button, you are just sharing a bit of your aggro with someone else. Whereas with Rescue, it will ALWAYS do something, and that something is controlling someone else's character
That's on a whole other level from Shirk. The two are not the same.

Also, please don't put words in my mouth. I never said you didn't know how to Tank, I said you didn't understand how Shirk worked. And nah, I don't care enough to stalk anybody's lodestones like some of the posters here, that shouldn't be seen as a norm.

The only time I dislike it is when the healer doesn't realize I have it under control and tries to intervene but even then, I know it was with good intentions.

I was in Twinning and a healer Rescued me as a DRG because I was in reach of the red ground circles, way before they go off. I Dragonfire'd back to the boss right as he did it, and Elusive'd back to the safe spot after getting my GCDs in, haha.

Never seen it used to grief personally, only help or try to help. So I think it does more good than harm.

Don't remove it. How else would I show my fiance I love him...to death

I'm completely fed up with this ability and my co-healers using it on me.
I main healer, and 90% of the time when they use it on me they assume I'm not going to get out of danger that I'm already moving out of, then suddenly YANK me into danger and get me killed.... OR have me run off the edge because I WAS dodging what they pulled me out of, but now only have half a second to stop myself from running while suddenly completely disoriented at being somewhere I wasn't supposed to be. It makes me seriously want to strangle the person.
I never use Rescue because I'm not gonna assume I know better than someone else, or risk messing up what they're doing.
If you don't know what the heck you're doing, PLEASE, for the love of Hydaelyn, don't yank me!!

Give players a toggle ability which negates rescue if active. This way, if rescue bugs you or is being abused you can manage the problem. Solved.

I would love to be able to turn off the ability for others to screwmeover-I mean "rescue" me. That sounds lovely.
I'd rather be responsible for myself than have someone misjudging my actions and throwing me off.
