Please let SMN keep Resurrection

[NovaBismarck]

I really do feel like you'll see a divide in casual vs savage players on that issue, though maybe I'm wrong. From a strictly selfish perspective I like the rez. It's less homogeneous, it's support, and since I'm casual only I save a ton of party wipes overall. It has a place. If you play a ton of of casual content, you'll see it time and time again. As far as savage goes though, outside of prog I can see why people would rather lose rez and gain dps. I really do sympathize. Dropping the rez may be an acceptable trade off if they can give us something good in return.

May as well turn arcanist into a healing class if you're getting rid of res for SMN.

Definitely will be a headache having to start over if for some reason the healer goes down. Like seriously...people love to rush dungeons when doing roulettes. I shouldn't have to be punished because of tanks overpulling and then dying because the healer and tank couldn't get on equal footing.

It may be a great change for those that are doing savage content, but with normal content it's going to be annoying. Healers down and you don't have another resser in party? Oh well! Try again.

If res is going to be taken either buff the shield ability of buff physics that currently only heals 900 at max level.

Unironically, give NIN a raise ninjutsu.

Today during the PLL they mentioned looking at removing Resurrection for SMN, implied as part of an effort in 8.0 to individualize jobs a little more, but I personally think that removing a raise skill from SMN both hinders player enjoyment/chances of success (especially at lower levels), and also makes SMN less unique by making it more like BLM (and presumably PIC won't have a raise either).

SMN and RDM are already unique among the DPS casters by being able to raise, and they are different enough from each other (SMN's healer-like raise vs RDM's "rezmage" moniker). I personally would love to see one more DPS job get a raise (I think MCH getting a defibrillator would be hilarious but also not outside of the realm of reason), but having DPS jobs that CAN raise gives them a unique flavor from both other DPS and from healers.

Also the number of times I've been in a dungeon or trial and the SMN's ability to raise is the only reason we didn't wipe is so high I can't even guess the number, and I've only been playing since SHB/5.1-ish. I know a lot of SMNs who seemingly don't want to raise (which is aggravating to me, honestly), but especially at low levels with new healers who may take a bad hit or get doomed (Qarn anyone), having a SMN who can raise at lower levels can absolutely make or break the run. It also feels really good to be able to recover from a mistake or bad lag/other issues, and I think it really brings a party together when you can do that successfully.

Taking away Resurrection from SMN (and I feel like they might be eying Verraise for RDM), would remove this potential entirely, and I think we would lose out if they did so.

Nah, remove it.

As a healer main, It upsets me that other than healers have a raise spell. Use the swifcast for DPS, we are already shadowed by almost immortal tanks to the point healing is being plain and boring. Let us suffer lmao. If healers die, and wipe, well... is part of the experience, the game is meant to be challenging, and if a healer is newbie and die, well, is our task as veteran players to cheer that person and point the way of improvement

Instead of raising the dead player, let the summoner summon it's ghost to fight for a couple minutes.

It’s quite practical in Alliance raids. Trials and normal raids too though those are shorter. Think I rezzed more than 10 times on the 2nd boss of Rabanastre a few days ago. The healers would die non stop and some others too. Without the rezzes I think that the group would have abandoned. Raid is already long enough and with 24 people it would create hostility towards the inexperienced healers . Where you use swiftcast doesn’t matter much unless doing savage and ultimate. I keep swiftcast for rezzes if I see that the healers are having a hard time.

Remove it, they don't need it. Looking forward to when they do.

[Varilyon]

Having a backup ress is pretty good and takes away responsibility from the healer. If they take it away from SMN, the RDM will become very important for many casual groups. If they take it away from both it will mean, that everybody can die except the healer. Is healer dead, there is a high chance of a wipe.

[DiaDeem]

Just gonna bump this because I agree.
