Adding onto my previous post, there are four situations where I personally use Rescue:

  • Trolling my friends by pulling them around (I don't do this in duties with strangers, this is more of a "we were all hitting the same striking dummy" occasion)
  • The person being in the wrong place endangers the whole group (DPS standing in Nabriales's meteor circles, people delaying getting to the pad for Ancient Flare in Labyrinth of the Ancients)
  • I know the person knows the mechanic, they were just in an unlucky spot (person who'd rezzed into an AoE that I wasn't sure would go through Transcendant or not; main tank in P12N who was babygated by Parthenos into the other side of the arena when Superchain Theory was about to resolve and sprinting desperately towards the safe zone)
  • Person has had multiple chances to learn the mechanic (read: been hit by it repeatedly while other people were jumping up and down at them) and I'm hoping that forcibly pulling them into the safe area will make it click

(And of course, under no circumstance do I Rescue a black mage. As much as we all meme about the leylines, I know they have Aetherial Manipulation and probably know some tricks that I don't!)

My philosophy is that otherwise, Rescuing someone messes with their learning process and also has too great of a risk of fucking up and pulling them into danger instead. The best way for them to learn what the mechanic does is to be hit with it, rather than being abruptly moved elsewhere and confused as to what happened.
