The Rescue Skill Has to Go

[TheForce]

Should we also remove Shirk and as we are talking about healer, any of the many heal spells? This is a team-based game, if you don't like other team members contributing to your experience then you are playing the wrong game. The game has already suffered enough from team skill pruning. The battle system was far more fun, particular for me as I play tank, when we had skills like diversion, palisade, shadewalker, smokescreen, cover in it's previous form etc. The toolkit was far more varied and unique, and now we are all cookie-cutter jobs all within our own lane, don't perpetuate that.

FYI, anyone abusing anything should result in you reporting that person, not asking for the battle system to be changed for the worse.


Edit: You don't have any jobs at 80 OP, maybe wait until endgame before you start asking for abilities to be removed. Rescue can be a godsend in raid, particularly PF raid, and can save runs if people make mistakes, or increase DPS uptime (free AM for BLM?) if the group knows what they are doing.

The fact that you tried to equate rescue to shirk totally convinces me that you have no idea how Shirk works. Maybe wait until you actually know about what it is you're talking about before giving any input in a discussion.

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".
