I mean, Blizzard has also been known to re-invent the wheel and swing the pendulum too far the other way as well :P I have already explained that the item is not on the majority of the time in the other game. Some Warcraft players I know of here acknowledge that Rescue / Leap of Faith can have some good niche uses and keep the option open if the players have proven to be respectful. I also only had a handful of those Neural Silencers that came from those Blingtron engineering robot daily RNG gift boxes (14% chance). Looking into Wowhead more, they made a craftable version of it called Neural Silencer Mk3 for the recent Dragonflight expansion. It uses a rare cloth material, so it may be rare enough (and expensive enough) to make us consider when is a good time to use it rather than all the time. I haven't been around for this WoW expansion, so I can't make any other personal comments for this new item other than speculation from this site. Best way I can think of to keep the item rare and expensive would be to have it use a map item drop. /looks at the Calfskin Coat and Leggings costing a million gil.

Does the Arms Length and Surecast have an animation too? If so, we may have to pause our rotation if we think someone is going to troll Rescue. It's not a perfect solution either if you actually have to almost stop what you are doing out of fear for this. As for uses for Arms Length / Surecast use in other things, not much I can name for normal difficulty encounters. Pretty much just Barbarissa Trial comes to mind to make it much much easier.
Looking through on follow up posts with the Rescue delay, I do agree that the 2 second delay it has makes it much less useful than the tooltip says it is. I think I mentioned elsewhere that greatly reducing the delay and allowing the target to float to your location would help a lot. Square might say they want to avoid Rescue being use to skip jumping puzzles like that Kugane umbrella, but we already have a way skip that with another player's help. You guys probably already know, but I could mention if you want me to.
