Should there be a toggle allowing the cast of Rescue on someone?

Interesting. I've never had rescue used on me in DF parties. I've yet to see it being used by trolls in DF. Maybe i'm lucky. However my static uses it to troll me.

In fact my static healers have always told me not to use rescue on randoms even though i still use it pretty often. More often than not rescue feels slow and people still end up dying to the stuff im trying to save them from u_u

The issue with rescue is that it has pretty bad input lag that's highly affected by both your own ping and the ping of the player you rescue. For example I tried rescuing a friend in E4 during one of the 'smash' mechanics and had ample time to do it, but according to the game they were in the bad anyways in spite of clearly being out of it by the time they died. If they could fix the input lag it'd be a better skill - but as of now I only use it on super long casts where I know the lag won't play a factor. Tsukiyomi EX's meteors to help my co-healer if I see them not reacting fast enough, Amon's Curtain Call, to name a few. Anything faster than those though and you might as well not bother, unless you were fast enough to click rescue right as the cast bar started.
