Very much so. The thing with PS4 targeting is that it uses the D-pad buttons, which are also skill buttons while you're holding R2, so I can't be preparing to hit the button until I've set the target first. Rescue is also situational enough that I can't afford to have it on the top layer of buttons.

So it's:

1. Identify that person is in trouble

2. Target the right person in the list (4-5 presses)

3. Press R2 (or double-tap R2 for the expanded menu) to activate skills

4. Press Rescue

5. Hope it works.

It's only really successful if I'm certain ahead of time that the person will need rescuing, and it's still a lot of buttons to do it at the right moment.

I honestly hate it. Out of all the times I had it used on me, 2 were actually to save me, the rest to troll. And it's not fun and it also kills people. And no, I don't piss healers off, people just find it fun to use rescue to kill or as a pet yanking leash.
As for using it myself, I've used it in LotA a few times but I mostly find it too clunky to actually rescue when needed.

It has a nasty delay... I understand why it's there but geez, it's like I need to see into the future before using it. I've had one person die during transit because of the delay, thus the server was like "derr derr he was still there even though he aint".

The skill whas more useful in stormblood were physical ranged didn’t had arms length. Now I don’t even bother too use reduce anymore in random groups. Because if he doesn’t stand in my healing field and dies I don’t need too rezz him.
