"Rescue" Should be removed

[Idi Amin]

It's a useless ability that is only used for people to pull tanks during dungeons to aggro more then what they may be comfortable with.
Also It's become an ability solely used to troll for the seventh circle. Twice now I've raged quit because some Ahole will use rescue to pull me off one of the bridges.

Why is this still in the game? The utility is non existent as majority of the time it cant be used quick enough to actually save someone.

I'd push people into AoE if i could. Pulling them puts me in danger when i'm not a SGE.

i dont get this one tho. why would it putt you into danger if you pull someone out of an AoE as sage?

Pulling them into an AoE puts you in danger because you don't have a way to get out yourself. SGE has "Icarus" to get back out.

Assuming they mean they then can't use the Sage gap closer to get out of their own dangerous spot if need be.

Sadly the last time I needed it I mixed up the binds I had set and pulled the person to me, which didn't do anyone any favors. Don't recommend.

Tell me who has the ninja like reflexes to pull someone out of an aoe with rescue? Over 4000 hours in the game I've yet to see it used for anything other then griefing/bullying.

In 4000 hours you've never seen a single person be saved on Phlegethon?

Best use of Rescue in the game was Urianger using it in a certain shb area when he yanked a certain villian off a ledge

why in the heck would you want to pull someone INTO and AoE ... aside from the griefing part xD.

anyways, then i kind of missunderstood you because i thought you wrote "i get in danger if i pull someone out of an AoE as sage" ^^.

before my brother in law got bullied out of playing healers by MENTORS, we used to go tank/healer duo, and he always pulled me out of aoe's

just because some bad apples missuse an ability, doesent mean the whole batch is ruined.

instead of removing it, just punish people harsher who troll with it.

Its called mouse over macros. I've been playing since launch and I can recall only two occasions its been used on me in a pug run. Both times were my fault and they were pulling me away from the mechanic. I've never been griefed with it by a pug and it has legitimate uses in end game. My static has done it on rare occasions to mess around at the end of raid night, but its not often and its always hilarious.

So no, rescue doesn't need to be removed.

A friend used it recently to rescue someone in The Dark Inside who was about to get AoE'd due to animation lock from using LB3

This lol. We did it to our reaper once. His timing was off and he was still stuck in the animation lock after the damage went out. Got yanked by our whm and saved his bacon. Was also comical to look at too.

[NuhUh]

Not all of us use Rescue to grief/troll. I use is quite often, in fact, just about every day during Raids & various Daily roulettes. Sprouts & Returning players are forever out of position. New tanks are always lonely tanking something else when they should be tanking with the group. Jobs with animation locked (LB2/3) will always get my "yank" when out of position while standing in an AOE circle.

[giganova]

No. The number of sprouts saved by Rescue far exceeds the amount of people trolled by Rescue. Remove Freecure instead.

[Stormy Dawn]

I mean I won't lie and say that I don't use it to troll my friends, but only those friends who would do it back to me, and usually only in some otherwise boring and uneventful run of something like Labyrinth or Syrcus where if one or both of us dies to my shenanigans literally nothing will come of it.

Sometimes I will use it on a Tank who either is choosing to ignore, or honestly didn't see my HoT zone like Sacred Soil, and I will pull them back into it instead of letting it be wasted.

On very rare occasions I will use it to try to save someone from a mechanic, but usually by the time I have adjusted myself and am safe from a mechanic I have little time to save someone else who isn't paying attention.

I do not consent to your Rescues. Go spam Glare or Broil or whatever it is healers do.

No. Also:
Get a mousover macro to save people. Much faster then clicking. I rescued dozens of ppl in my hours played.

That sounds like cheating. The balance of the move relies on the fact you have to react fast.

How is it cheating? The function is built into the game...

It isn't 'cheating' at all.
It is a macro created by FFXIV to use.
How would that be in any way cheating if the game devs created the macro code construct to be used?

Wait, what IS that mouseover macro? I am curious. It looks fun but where do we see it?

/merror off

Just make a macro, paste that into it and put it on your hotbar. Hover your mouse over a player and press the rescue macro to rescue them.
