Needing Swiftcast to use Raise... it really sucks that it's wasted on the off-chance someone else raises your target first. I know people get around this by using chat macros, but this seems like a clunky solution (and sometimes very spammy).
The problem lies, I believe, with the tick delay on the server... IIRC there's a few-second window where someone might be raised but we can't see the buff icon yet, so unless the raiser spams chat, we have no idea whether to hold out or cast. I'd love to see something similar to any of the following changes:
1) Rework the Raise spell so that it auto-uses Swiftcast if it's up. Raise shouldn't work if your target isn't KOed or is rezzing. Even better, make it a toggle-able check box in Character Settings.
2) Allow Swiftcast to be executed while you're hardcasting Raise to complete the spell instantly. The combo would be Raise > Swiftcast and you wouldn't be able to raise non-KO'ed members or rezzing members.
3) If, due to server lag, you're executing Raise and your raise gets invalidated, roll back the swiftcast (if you used it) and Raise cooldowns.
I know people work out rezzing priorities and such in 8-mans and raids, but in content like The Hunt it gets quite a bit chaotic and I've wasted many swiftcasts trying to revive. Any thoughts?
