Remove Rescue from the game.

LOL. So you foresee entire duties of people opting out of being rescued, which would mean it's not an effect most players want cast on them.

Think a little.

Literally nowhere did I say that rescue is a perfectly fine ability that everyone should like regardless of their experiences. Just that if you're going to remove or change it in some way, you need to do so in a way that doesn't just. Remove it and give nothing in exchange. That's it. Please read the words I typed and not the ones you imagined.

Take your own advice. Nowhere did I write that you said that, either.

I also never disagreed that if it is removed, that it should be replaced with something else. I upvoted all the posts in this threads with suggestions to do so.

Where I disagree is your stated (which I read...) "all or nothing" position whereas I advocate for an opt-out whether they are ready to replace it or not.

Given the skill is simply not needed at all in most situations, and all content can be cleared without it - it's nuisance potential far outweighs the few niche scenarios I've seen people enjoy it as opposed to the trolling/disorientation/annoyance it causes others. For those who really love the skill for whatever reason, or need it to help their friends who can't do mechanics, I'm fine if they keep it on an opt-out basis. Maybe they should do that, AND give us another skill to use. It's not like we don't have time for another ability.

Your original reply looks more like insinuating I'm against the removal of rescue but. Whatever. The crux of what I'm saying is in my og reply, 'So either leave it be or add in something that is the same level of engagement' so I wouldn't have much problem with your solution. But it has to be the same level of engagement.

If it's better than rescue then why have rescue? If rescue really is that annoying/disorienting, wouldn't you want to change it for everyone? If its worse than rescue then healers who do use rescue responsibly get a their kit nerfed.
