!! Fix Healer Rescue

[t0rn]

I read title as ffx is coming to save us!

I'm a bit torn. I've certainly used Rescue plenty of times to save someone, Alliance Raids especially. There have been a lot of folks who didn't take an Engels gear to the face because i was quick on the trigger. I like it for that aspect of being able to truly help.

On the other hand, there are instances like my co-healer pulling me from my safe spot on the third PB boss because...they were offended I didn't choose the same one? So instead of not dying in my nice also-safe spot, I get pulled right into the bad and die. I don't like that aspect of it.

I do kind of like Packet's suggestion of it being something where we can move ourselves. I would definitely get a lot more play out of that than I do now with Rescue. A lot of the time I assume folks know what they're doing, so I only end up using it on those obvious "That's an instant kill they're going to take to the face" situations, or when people can't get on the damned pads in LotA.

Aye, we should fix it by making it a 30 second cooldown. +1 I support.

I’m calling it now, Rescue will be removed in 6.0. I love the ability but due to how the game works with the server back end, all it ever does for me is make it easier to find the body to Rez the player.

What if:

What if rescue gave you the same invulnerability frames as being revived?


That way you can't be pulled into danger. There might even come some new strategies where a well timed rescue becomes how some tankbusters get survived.

Obviously overpowered. Party about to wipe? One healer rescues the other healer and the other healer rescues a tank. Six people die but tank lives to keep boss occupied long enough for healer to LB.

Depends on how long the invunrability is.
Honestly though, it still looks like this might be the best solution, and the only third option. Given "disable it" or "don't disable it", nobody else has mentioned another third option....

i think a good player will always be able to anticipate when rescue is about to be cast on them

Is this a troll post?

Dunno, rescue seems pretty great.
