Guild Wars 2

I never used it much pre-nerf, as I wasn’t quite there yet. Tonight during an MF PUG we had a clumsy time against the boss for whatever reason, but I was able to S&R the entire party (minus me) back from the brink of defeat on our closest cooperative effort to seal the victory.

I know it says it doesn’t bring people back from the dead, buuuut it did. They were dead is dead is dead. So perhaps I’m not understanding the way the skill or the nerf work.

Enlighten me! Slowly but surely I’m chipping away at the MMO jadedness that tells me “Just main your Thief” with moments like this.

Perhaps we all read the patch notes incorrectly and both the changes were “PvP Only”.

Will have to test sometime when I have a group where people die :-p

Please do test it! I’d love to see it on my skill bar again.

(Obligatory “S&R should be a signet” mention. It wasn’t my idea and I read it in another thread, but it made absolute sense.)

Search and Rescue does not work on defeated players.

If a player is downed, you use Search and Rescue, and the player dies, your pet will resurrect the defeated player. I’ve used it countless times as so.
