    The main reason it's complicated in the writeup is that status effects in this game are great at proccing new status effects, but so far as I can observe really terrible at conditional timers. So the most straightforward way to have an "if you take avoidable damage within 10 seconds of the attempted Rescue which leads to your death within 20 seconds of the attempted Rescue" type of condition on the rez effect is really the chained debuffs/buffs that proc off of each other, even if that ends up working out to actually be "if you take avoidable damage within 10 seconds of the attempted Rescue, which leads to your death within 10 seconds of that damage" (sort of akin to how Living Dead procs Walking Dead). :|

    (If there's a good way to simplify that which I've overlooked, it probably should be simplified, yes. Maybe do away with the Salvation Offered buff, and just make it so anyone can benefit from the Second Chance buff; then it doesn't have to be the healer who attempted Rescue who gets the person up at reduced rate and freebie instant-cast, it could also be their co-healer, or even the SMN or RDM.)

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.
