Rescue needs to go away.

[Gemina]

I'll take a swing at that because I've only had Rescue used on me unnecessarily.

Provoke/Shirk is definitely more effective if you want to kill someone, but it doesn't carry the additional problem of removing your control of your character. In terms of user experience, things that negate control of your character are incredibly annoying (that includes stuns, hysteria, heavy, bind, etc etc).

This needs to stop. Seriously. Rescue doesn't make you lose control of your character. Rescue makes you lose your current position. That's it. It's not akin to Hysteria, Confusion, Geols, Bind, Heavy, Stun, etc. These are negative status effects enemies use in order to deliberately try and kill you, or make things difficult. This is NOT what Rescue does.

Just like I told the other poster, if your issue with Rescue is simply not liking another player to dictate your position, then just say it, and own it. Lose the dilly dally.
