Rescue Needs to GO

[Grimoire-M]

I want a toggle that allows me to turn off other players' ability to run AOEs into me. Those AOEs could kill me, and that would be controlling my character which is offensive to me.

See, Verde? Semi is using sarcasm to highlight the irony of your own statement. Because they understand that I used the same argument another player used to justify not being rescued in the first place that I already refuted in this same thread, underneath the argument you still don’t have a sufficient answer to. Good healers use rescue because it’s free, helps the party, and conserves important resources necessary for covering mistakes, Like every other healer cooldown. A healer using it is doing their job better than one who doesn’t, even if you don’t like it.

The idea that you should have ANY control over another persons character needs to go away. There should be a way for us to turn it off so that healers can not pull us at any point. We should know the dungeon well enough or know enough to get out of the way. But (and I know what they will say "I pulled you to save you from the AOE") No...You pulled me to my death, you interrupted my series of abilities, you turned the creature right towards the party and most of all....brought the aggro.....right towards everyone. So do us all a favor. And for those of you that are using rescue as a "get even" tool. It is a highly reportable offense and people's accounts have been suspended over it. Remember. If you can pull a character than why can't tanks turn off stance.

You can turn it off, by clicking anti knockback it works on it.

The only times I have seen this ability used in a "mean" manner is when I am with friends and they wanna pull me, but I know and just pull an antiKB.

In any other situation it was always useful and used by healers to help.

Your situation sounds like perhaps the person did not understand the tanking aspect. Maybe they are never tanking or not tanking that much. You can stop and explain to them that what they did caused xyz... how you summed it up, sounds like that they tried to help, therefore it is not reportable, as they had no malicious intentions.

It is very hard to judge the situation when we dont know what type of content you were running and what type of conversations went down in the party.

I don’t use it nor I care,

Not my job to rescue anyone from not following through group or mechanics sorts,

Better yet, remove it (Less abilities, the better),

I don’t look; I simply focus on healing & maintaining consistency, but anyone not following they died; I don’t look

PS: That’s why rez exists; it’s the best & obligation I have to follow

I've saved plenty of people with Rescue and even prevented wipes with it.

In my entire time playing the game I've only been killed by rescue once, and that was because the healer thought I was standing in a bad place and their Rescue pulled me through the AoE as it triggered. They apologized and I didn't hold it against them or come to the forums and demand that it be removed.

I don't think a toggle would be a good idea as I don't want to be mashing the button wondering why nothing is happening and the person dies due to standing in the wrong place and having Rescue turned off. Plus now you got the issue of healers complaining they could of prevented your death if you didn't disable the toggle.

Why should I waste my Swiftcast and 2400 MP when I could of just as easily used Rescue?

Better yet, why even heal someone that got hit by an avoidable mechanic? I could just resurrect them later. Not my job to heal anyone from not following through group or mechanics sorts.
