How would you feel if Raises were instant and OGCD, but had a 60s CD?

[Momo_Kozuki]

Nah I prefer current Raise. It is fun to salvage a 24-man raid with 12 dead in Duty Finder by rezzing the rezzers and let them join the rez fest.



If anything, I want other classes to have out-combat raise via Phoenix Down, so that they can help unlucky souls they come across without having to play a rezzer class.

[Renalt]

I don't care if I have to stop DPSing to raise someone. I just think of it as "Your DPS is now my DPS cause you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me".

[Droxybrobotnik]

Nah. Ressing outside of swiftcast is a matter of timing and knowing the fight, reward those who can do it. No reason to make one of the skillful aspects of healers braindead.

[Imragarn]

So if 3 people die in a 8 man fight for some reason, and we don't have a rez DPS, one of them just win a "get in jail for 60 sec" card ?

I feel some of the combat jobs with raises could use this for a lower raise tax, and reduce expectations on them but still keep it as a really cool tool. For example rather than SMN killing their swift cast on raise, when they need it for their ifrit, their raise might be oGCD instant cast with cooldown and do something neat like apply a shield (carby buff) or a powerful heal / DoT (when in phoenix mode).

But in general I think it's fine the way it is currently, personally at least.

We already have instant cast raises. Hardcasting a revive spell is rough on the person casting when in challenging content, so generally, the only time someone is going to revive another downed player is when the instant cast is up.

[Skiros]

If anything they should limit raises to 5 per encounter.

[MilkieTea]

If anything they should limit raises to 5 per encounter.

Nah... Whenever me and my friends are progging savage, being able to be rezzed so I can experience more mechanics is much more preferrable to running out of rezzes and saying "welp, can't see anything else."

[Caddo]

I'd be okay with Raise having a 2 charge, 60sec cooldown charge rate, OGCD, but still cost mana, or even a GCD just to give swiftcast more use. 2 Charges would be best because if you think Alliance raids, then you'd be able to toss 4 out (both healers alive), same with 8 mans as long as both healers are up, without either of them giving up DPS, or having to *shudder* harcast that 8sec raise after one swiftcast. :P

[Canadane]

any reason to remove swiftcast from my hotbar is a good idea to me, as a controller user i gotta pick an choose which abilities i use and dont use

No you don't, just swap to a second or third bar. There are hotswap key combos for a reason, and they take less than the GCD do to.
Swiftcast has uses outside of raise, so you should not be looking to remove it. You should have all your skills on your bars!
