!! Fix Healer Rescue

[Theodric]

I don't want to see the ability removed from the game because it's a very useful way for a competent healer to save a player set to fail a mechanic in PvE. In PvP, meanwhile, it's an excellent way to save someone who is getting surrounded by enemy players.

It's one of the few unique abilities we have. It should definitely stay.

Was hoping for a constructive conversation, but I'm not sure how to respond to ad hominem attacks and comments that seem to miss the point of my OP.

The suggestion was to make the ability opt-in via a toggle checkbox. Not to keep or remove it.

This way if you want to let healers use it on you - great go for it.

If you don't - you have a way to turn off other players controlling your character.

This'll be my last reply here. Hope you all have a good rest of the day.

Oh, now you're getting "attacked" because people don't share the same opinion? Predictable!

Rescue works as it should, been saved and used it to save others ok many times.

I feel like a lot of the healers on this board are the ones who will rescue my Ninja out of his Ten Chi Jin just to stop an AoE that'll take maybe 1/4th of his health bar, and then feel like they actually did me a favor.

Rescue needs to be a toggle.

Another thought to this whole thing is perhaps rescue doesn't stop casting / channels. Far more friendly that way, and help Goji's issue above.

If anything I think they could fix many problems by making rescue stronger. You'll still have that "what if my healer is an absolute dodo?" ... but.. you'll have that question through the entire content then so.. congrats lol.

Would need rescue to not work while buffs like Delirium or Inner Release are active as well. Especially in roulettes there's basically NEVER a reason to pull a tank out of a circle AoE; those don't even tickle.

It would still be easier to make it a toggle than try to work it around the myriad situations where people wouldn't want it used on them.

I mean if they're pulling a tank they are either a dodo or there was a good reason . Never touch the tank unless it's like "HELLO!?!?!". I don't think you'd have to go that far to make inner release or whatever exceptions.

You're right that making it a toggle is easier (in the sense of making a list of rules or whatever), if they do as I said earlier though I hope it's an Opt-out not an Opt-in, an Opt-in toggle would effectively kill the skill.

I still think the skill is loads of fun though and want any solution to avoid dulling it. Having been killed by it, saved by it, and used it for both fun and saving. I only use it for fun on those who would be okay with it though (at one point in a MSQ roulette the co-healer and I were pulling each other at the same time through each other's aoes such that we swapped places, it was beautiful).

Getting yanked out of circumference AoE's around bosses, because I generally decide to stand in them during Delirium/Inner Release, is one of my biggest gripes with Rescue. Not saying it happens all the time, but it's happened enough where I'd probably click the opt-out button until my wrist dislocates. P

And yes, I agree it should be an opt-out. Rescue shouldn't be disabled by default.
