I never get rescued because I make proper pulls.
I never get rescued because I make proper pulls.
As a filthy DPS main, I normally don't have a problem with rescue when it's used properly; however, when I run into a healer that thinks they're saving me from an aoe when I'm either already moving out of it, or when I'm about to pop a cooldown to mitigate it or regain hp then it irks me to no end. Is it too much to ask that these healers let individuals set a precedent for stomping in stupid before wringing them by their necks with the rescue rope?
Rescue is apart of the healer toolkit much like Physick, Benefic 1 and Cure 1. Therefore, much like experienced healers will learn that unless they have to chain res a party (for some ungodsly reason) they'll never use their starting heals once they have the rest of their healing kit, newb healers will learn to either:As a filthy DPS main, I normally don't have a problem with rescue when it's used properly; however, when I run into a healer that thinks they're saving me from an aoe when I'm either already moving out of it, or when I'm about to pop a cooldown to mitigate it or regain hp then it irks me to no end.

1. Trust their party members to know what they're doing (keeping optimal uptimes and waiting til the last minute to move or know they're greeding and decide to take the hit anyway)
or
2. Be like me and let the dps learn the consequences of standing in fire.
Its annoying as all seven hells to be rescued when you know you're fine or will be fine, but most healers who use it properly are trying to learn.
Friendly reminder that just because you know you would've been fine doesn't mean everyone else also knows. With the amount of people in DF and sometimes even PF that sleep on mechanics, it's really no wonder some healers just go for Rescue if they think someone might get (almost) killed if they don't intervene. After all, they are the ones who will ultimately have to deal with the consequences.
You can always tell them nicely that you are fine and know the right timing or have selfheals ready afterwards. While I don't like getting pulled out of my rotation either, I can see where they're coming from when they see someone is being really greedy.
I've ever only used Rescue during duty roulettes on DPS when they've already died to one avoidable AE and are standing in another. I don't like using Rescue at all, but I'd rather use it than hard cast a rez during a boss fight.
