Rescue needs changed and/or removed

[Seraphor]

No.
Rescue is a very useful tool when used correctly and this isn't discounted by the fact that some people use it to troll by temporarily moving you slightly.
If they do it multiple times and it results in you dying, and you know for certain they weren't trying to help, feel free to report for harassment.

And in a not-so-pertinent-but-related tangent, a member of my FC recently passed away, he was the joker of the group and would regularly rescue us in our FC-only Trials runs, it was his thing. We just commemorated him in game by, among other things, doing an all-healer min ilvl dungeon run and Rescuing each other into certain death.
So outside of PUG runs where people are expected to play responsibly, it's actually quite a lot of fun to troll each other with it.

The amount of times I've rescued a bard standing in Narnia into my soil/asylum/star and I've had them immediatly run back to Narnia tells me rescue should have a shorter cooldown, maybe it should add a "leash" debuff to the target dragged in as well forcing them to follow you until you release it so the brainless wonders can actually get healed or do mechanics properly for a change Only some of that was /s

Rescue a DPS out of a mechanic.

They proceed to pop Sprint just so they can get back in time to eat the mechanic. "Healer y u no adjust."

I'd like Rescue to have a shorter cooldown. Maybe a charge system. Perhaps it can holmgang the target to you as well? These are sarcastic ideas, calm down.

A kindred spirit, I see.

A successful Rescue feels amazing. I wouldn't want to lose the validation I get from timing it right. They already took so much. Please let me have nice things!

Yeah no. Rescue is great. I've been farming Orbonne for Mog Tomes and I can't tell you how many times I've had to use it to drag people into the 3 person platforms or position them manually because they aren't moving with the growing dome marker during the Thunder God. Can it be troll-ish? Yeah, sure. I had a pair the other day, also in Orbonne, where the healer was trolling their own friend the whole time. Which I suppose is a lesser evil than trolling a stranger but it kept resulting in the healer and their friend dying and leftt me solo healing and trying to get them back up. So I left them dead and the DPS apparently agreed because so did our Redmages. I did also have a Lallafel rage at me for rescuing them from an AoE. 'I HAVE BEEN HERE MANY A TIME SO PLEASE DO NOT RESCUE ME.' They were dead 30 seconds later. Long story short, it should stay and I'm actually starting to agree with the shorter cooldown or charge system suggestions made in jest.

My only issue with rescue is it’s cooldown is too long I usually use it maybe once per dungeon for stupid reasons like out running the tank or physical DPS so I rescue them closer, or to stack. I never use it to trick people I don’t know that’s how you get kicked

[Videra]

I sometimes pull brainlet red mages into my sacred soil/asylum, because they shouldn't be off in Africa vercuring themselves and knee-capping their DPS. Then they run right back and say "Don't do that again".

Morons.

It's one of the fewest interesting abilities added since SB for healers.
OP is talking about downgrade this role even more and reduce the fun with that.
Sure SE has marked this thread with red flag.

Rescue is great. I’ve had to use it plenty of times to save DPS from getting killed. Used it a couple of times to get the players attention that they had to stand at a certain spot. It’s fun to use.

The skill misses a real animation/visual effect imo, it could be an instant TP for exemple but i find it useful, the main trouble is the players who don't know how to use it properly.
