Rescue needs to go away.

Answer this: do you get rescued so often to the point you're paranoid of running with random DF healers? To the point you have to keep targeting your healers to see who they're targeting? To the point you're this insecure? How many times you actually get rescued vs when you actually don't see it in your runs?

Arm's Length/Surecast lasts like 5 seconds and I have to predict when a person is going to use it. That's really not going to happen. Those skills are used when you know a KB is happening and want to defend against it. A bad Rescue can't be predicted.

Enlighten me when you said 'bad Rescue': does it mean a badly timed rescue that leads to death/loss of time? or is it rescues that are used solely for griefing/trolling?

If it's the former, then yes, it's easier to predict. You CAN predict when this will happen, especially if it's coming from inexperienced healers. Their sole intention will be to pull you out of what they deem as dangerous when it is not. This is completely alright. They do not mean harm. They have to use it one way or another to practice using Rescue properly, otherwise how do you think the best Rescuer made it their way to where they are right now? But I don't pay your sub nor I am you, so I do not get to dictate how you should feel. I could also argue that i.e. skills like PLD's Cover made it harder to heal them (not really, but I can see how it'll surprise inexperienced healers) because it causes them to take an extra damage spike and throw my routine healing off. As people says: YMMV. This is just my honest opinion.

On the other hand, the latter is a silver platter handed to you to report said trolling healer. Yes, you can't always predict them as reliably as the former because their sole intention will be to pull you into hazardous objects/zones which can translate to several things. But you can report them for doing this. It doesn't take long to file in the report.
