The Rescue Skill Has to Go

i am simple man, if you use rescue and i am still taking damage from mechanic, then you are trolling, stop doing it

That isn't the healer's fault, but the insane delay the skill has. If you're going to assign blame, make sure it's targeted towards the right direction.

Yeah.. I'm sure people DO use it correctly and in good will sometimes.. but it's not gonna be a gamechanger if it disappears next patch and I for one will not miss it one bit if it does.

It'd be a game changer to all the friends and strangers I've saved from one-hit deaths.

You tried rescuing me to get me close to proximity heals. I don't have a problem with that but if you had read the situation carefully, we're in a no dmg phase because we're in some dps mechanic. Now I gotta run back to it.

And if an SCH wanted to preshield, or an AST wanted to make sure their buff applied to everyone?

There is no legitimate reason to not stand behind the boss with everyone else. Doing so is incredibly rude and inconsiderate.

Why would I not be behind the boss during dps phase or any for that matter o.o ? Unless you're talking about ranged dps who feel like they have to pew pew from the other side of the planet, which then I agree with you but imo, if anyone's that far, leave them be. They're the ones missing out. It shouldn't be any healer's problem if no one's within reasonable space.

That's exactly what I'm referring to; I can't think of any other situation where a healer would use Rescue on someone for being out of range.

OP is on a trolling spree just so everyone knows.

Same start to another trolling thread "I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here... " :

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. You could leave ability off if you know fight really well or until someone abuses you with it. An abuser would get exactly one shot at mayhem. I will even take a shot at name "Steadfast"

I used it on my coheal the other day in Copied. She thanked me for using it
while she was playing with basically one hand as she injured it.
So that was nice.

Then another run, coheal used it, MNK who was whining all run and
got upset and said "Well you don't use them on melee."
Lol, okay. You wanna keep up GL stacks so bad I guess you wanna die trying.

On a more serious case of the skill itself. It's wonky and you need to know when a mech is about to start,
run away from it and hurry to pull the player who is likely caught because the skill itself is instant on use, but delays
people to move. I did this for a BRD, who died in a mech anyways and was sliding across the floor, dead.

I like the skill but I wish the delay wasn't so awful and if people are honestly abusing and trolling you with it.
You can report them. They'll get punished for it.

It is a useful skill for statics. It is a tool for trolling and misunderstandings in pugs.

It can be annoying when the healer has good intentions with rescue but instead causes problems.

An example that I can remember was as a RDM about to hit the 3rd hit of the melee combo while a PoB aoe began to telegraph. Easy enough to finish and backflip out in time... But then I was across the arena from an overcautious rescue. Absolutely destroyed uptime and made me annoyed, but it's hard to blame a healer for trying to help.

I was rescued after a boss' telegraphed laser attack and appreciated it.

I hope it stays forever.
