*Raise* Issues with animation time

[MrSmiley]

issue is even while raising they cannot be healed while they can be hit and killed. Also, "not dying" as a solution is silly, you think people will all be running flawless raids?

[silverhope]

doesnt WHM have spell speed skill ? as for SCH I simply: Swiftcast->raise

otherwise the only solution I can use is SS myself first before raise as a WHM

The issue is not in the cast time but the time it takes after the dead person accepts said rez and had a 8 seconds wait before they can do anything but can be killed in the process.

It is a pain in the ass Raising someone or getting raised yourself only to die again because you can't move to get healed for a second or two.

This right here is the issue. Also why I used a frypan earlier. When raised they are IMMUNE to all assistance however they are 150% open to attack. They can't move. They can't be healed. They can take AoE damage. They can be single targetted for range damage. I know this because I'm in the habit of watching arrows so I know who to start healing before they actually hit. When I see an arrow arc through the air right at the person I just raised...

SON OF A BITCH ASS WHORE!

goes right through my head every time.

I think animation isn't the issue, just more of how vulnerable you are.

I'd say throw in a temporary invincible time of 1 GCD unit at least after raise animation is complete, or make it so you can actually cast on people during their raise animation (such as Stoneskin... and that would be one of the FEW times it would be REALLY helpful).

Oh and AoE heals don't work, tried it.

+1. The raised one should be invulnerable untill he can move. The weakened status, the raise mp cost are enough penalty. And instarez has cooldown of 60 seconds, otherwise u rather die than finish rezzing.

I've not yet done later to end-game content where raises during take place, but is it possible for the person who gets the raise to wait to accept until a timer from the boss goes off? This, of course, only until a fix for this can be implemented.

Yeah, once someone casts Raise on you, a box pops up on-screen where you click a button to 'accept' the Raise. Once you click it, you're brought back to life. In the heat of battle, though, a lot of people just insta-click the Accept button without considering the upcoming AoEs and very frequently get killed again before they can move / before the healer can heal them.
