!! Fix Healer Rescue

[Goji1639]

Snip

Someone making a mistake playing their own character is far more forgivable than someone making a mistake while forcibly taking control of my character. Intent doesn't matter, ripping control of someone else's character away from them is a bold statement. If you're going to do it you'd better be 100% sure you're doing it right, or it's going to be received poorly. Also, it's impossible to optimize around Rescue because you don't know when it's coming and you can't mitigate it. That's what makes Healers a bigger threat than normal AI enemies.

As for providing more engagement for Healers, what can I say... Sorry Healing is boring but Rescue isn't a good solution. It's an obnoxious hindrance that barely works even in the rare situations where it could be useful; the vast majority of healers don't bother with it, I'm guessing the people here defending it haven't actually used it in weeks.

As for the ability being godlike, I've already admitted it's a godlike troll button. The fact that it's a way to mess with people constantly without incriminating yourself in chat makes it bulletproof. If I were someone who hated people and only really played this game to mess with them I would DEFINITELY main a Healer.

"omg the fact that rescue is out there and can hit me anytime, so I'm scared" is the best argument I've read so far.

Rescue is great in E12S sometimes, get that one person in the titan stack on-time, or else you, the healer dies. Yeah try to defend that, casual.

Not scared necessarily, just a little annoyed that certain poorly conceived abilities make my teammates obstacles when they should be allies.

Boy if there's any psychologists running around here, I bed they'd have a field day with how you think your party members (aka your team members) are your enemies. You might want to talk to someone about that, mate.

Like I said it's nothing personal, I'm just stating facts. Rescue puts me at odds with my team; with the Healer anyways. A toggle would fix that. World of Warcraft added a toggle for that exact reason, so why not do it here to?

You've convinced me.
You have no idea how Rescue works. Also very nice of you to ignore everyone's examples of how the skill helps people.
Do you even play the same game as everyone else? It seems you have a paranoia, I'd recommend consulting a specialist. It's not a good sign when you see enemies everywhere.

All you're doing here is feigning exasperation without actually saying anything or making a point. Take exception to my use of the word "enemies" if you want, but it's not inaccurate. Rescue turns Healers into obstacles for me; that's just an irrefutable fact. Doesn't mean it's the end of the world, but I would definitely enjoy a toggle on that ability.

Everything I've said about Rescue is true, and many of those reasons are why Blizzard saw fit to add a toggle to ONLY that ability in World of Warcraft.

Stop using anecdotal evidence to justify removing a skill just because YOU had a bad experience because by this logic there're many skills that should go since they all can me misused.
We're not playing WOW here, just in case.

Since I seem to have a very limited post count I'm going to start just doing this for simple responses, lol.

I'm not trying to remove the skill. TOGGLE. That way people who have bad opinions of Rescue can turn it off, and the rest of you can keep rarely ever using it but pretending it's the most clutch ability you have.
