Probably A Stupid Question (Spell Related)

[PDX0621]

As the title states, I may sound like a stupid question, but I've yet to find an answer for it. What is the difference between regular druid ports and succor ports? For example, Circle of Butcherblock vs Succor: Butcherblock? What am I missing here?

[Fiyero]

Succors are evac spells. They're 9 second cast times vs. 16 for regular group ports.

[Daldaen]

Succors also have a chance to randomly leave someone behind like a gate collapsing.

IE - you never cast them.

The only Succor worth casting is Succor East Karana cause we don't get a normal port to that zone. Butcher, Ro, Lavastorm, North Karana ones are all useless.

[Estu]

Casting a succor port spell (or evac port spell for wizards) while in that same zone will take you to the safe spot in that zone, which is generally different from the port spot. For example, say I have a wizard and I'm porting someone to West Karana who wants to go to Qeynos. The wizard port location in WK is right by the NK zone line, so it's a huge run to Qeynos. If I meet them in EC and cast Evacuate: West, we end up at the WK wizard spires. If I then cast Evacuate: West again, we end up right at the Qeynos Hills zone line.
