Displacement...

Can we do something about Displacement? I just hate the fact that it's a mile repelling shot. Can the distance be fixed? I feel like it's way too much most of the time, especially on raids where touching the edge one shots you. And I can see the comments pouring in saying "git gud" and all that, and I am. It's not that it's impossible, it's just a pain to do. In O11 during Level Checker, 1 Displacement and you're automatically dead. And I feel that with a job that lacks DoTs, that inability to use Displacement during that whole phase is a pretty immense dps loss.

I don't think the skill needs to be adjusted, because of 1 instance, maybe 2, but i don't think you will loose to much damage to make you missing the DPS check.

Ps4 players have a little harder time with latency and whatnot that makes the abilities clip into each other even with the 2.5 recast time. Displacement's exaggeratedly long repel ends at almost the same time your GCD is up. Add latency to that, you'll start casting later than after you actually land. I don't know, the distance, or a faster animation if losing damage isn't a problem (I consider it a problem because it's an ability meant to be weaved since it does deal damage, 130 potency is a lot for it not to be used during a whole minute)

Simple solution, play pc

The solution to your problem is to not use the skill when you know it's not safe. It's really that simple!

I could do with it being shorter--15y is kind of a ridiculous distance tbh. It would also be nice if it was as fast as CaC to prevent clipping and make it a more feasible gap opener.

They removed potency from repelling shot, so it would not be surprise if they do the same for displacement during 5.0

Remove potency from displacement, put it on Corps a Corps.


I dont want to lose potency and be scared of flipping off the edge.

Considering most ring out arenas in raids/trials barely larger than 15y, it might be time to reexamine displacement.

yup, it's too far for no good reason. 10 or 12 is probably enough.

I agree. 10-12 sounds good. And for the potency, I also agree that they might as well move it to corps-a-corps

And why should I? If the game is out for the ps4 as well, they have to take us into account.

Not using Displacement is a damage loss, but using it and dying is a bigger loss. Just be aware of your surroundings and don't fat-finger it.

That's the problem, not being able to use it. One already knows not to jump off the edge or touch the insta-kill goo

I don't get it, they removed the potency from repelling shot, then added displacement having the same, if not worse issues.

Yeah, same. Every time there's a boss with an open edge, I fear nervous about using Displacement. And 9/10 times, my fears are validated when I wind up misclicking at the wrong time and sail over the edge.

Its easy fix. All they need to do is make fighting areas larger so don't flip off the edge and die using it.

Because repelling was meant to be a movement only tool and not as a core part of the jobs mechanics. Much like Blank and Fluid Aura

Hard to call it a core part when you can't use it at all in some fights, and you can do melee combo just fine without it, it's just a needless potency loss to factors not in your control.

Just to retouch this. Today I was doing Suzaku and (yes, totally my fault) I fat fingered displacement while being halfway from the boss and the edge. Needless to say, I plunged down the abyss of death.
