When people die, often times to other players, their body goes skidding and rolling across the floor until they bump into a wall or some nonsense in which they’re not resurrectable at said location, wasting cooldowns and the limited time the individual has to pick up their belongings.
Given the mechanic of item drop (silver/gems) on death, getting back alive asap is pretty valued.
Having a priest in the party generally gives the impression waiting for a rez is the right option, however this isn’t necessarily always true at the moment due to this bug. Which leads to frustrating experiences when they otherwise could’ve ran back fast enough should they have not waited.
And as a priest player myself, its pretty frustrating when this happens and causes your party member a loss.
