!! Fix Healer Rescue

[Provoke]

What the hell?

[Provoke]

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?

[Rongway]

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.

Dunno, rescue seems pretty great.

if you don't want to be rescued just use arms length, otherwise get over it..

Had my cohealer rescue me in Rab 3rd boss. I didn't need recuing... I went ahead and told her/him to not do that and then went ahead and pulled her across the room. Seriously...

Adding a toggle to prevent rescue troll will just make me delete that utility entirely from my hotbar. Why would I weave an ability that I wouldn’t even know if it’ll work reliably? At that point they might as well delete the utility entirely.

They can just add a debuff icon in the party window for players who have it turned off.

Regardless, the ability probably should be deleted in DF content. The way we're all overscaled maintaining uptime is more efficient than avoiding AoE in many cases anyways. Healers aren't helping the run by dragging people around, they're just being annoying.

Rescue doesn't cause you to lose control of your character. That is what the status effect "Confusion" does. Stop exaggerating. What it does is forces you into the same position as the healer who rescues you. If you don't want to be rescued, the first thing you should do is learn, know, and obey mechanics. If you are the confident type who stays in a bad position for DPS upkeep until it is truly time to move, then use Arms Length/Surecast to prevent a rescue from the healer who is thinking you are not aware of the incoming mechanic. OR, you can even ask to be rescued during certain mechanics in order to sustain your DPS. IOW, do what IS in your control to do.

There will never be a toggle for Rescue. The skill would sooner get deleted, and that's not happening either.

Arms length is intended to allow you to maintain uptime through ENEMY knockbacks. Having to waste it on standard AoEs because your dippy healer might decide to yank you is impeding the DPS. If everyone in the group is wasting their KB immunity for fear of healer incompetence, it's hurting the entire run.

In statics where everyone is on the same page I can understand the value of Rescue. In DF however, it should be a toggle.

If anything it should also work out of combat :3

Rescue needs to work outside of combat.

Yoink button go brrrrr

In the relic farm in Rabanastre I don't know how many people I've saved with Rescue. They become chickens and I rescue them back to the middle of the arena and they survive instead of dieing when they run to the edge of the arena. Rescue seems to working as intended in that case and I wish when I became a chicken people had done that to me.
