    Suzaku last expansion it wasn't viable since the coin platform you fight on was exactly 15 yalms wide.

    These are two fights I can think of off hand, also it does depend on how your rotation is lining up in the fight, but for me, I find that I'm using my melee combo during the panto puddles phase, so if I leap back then, it's the same problem, you either leap back into death or you leap off the platform.

    The fact that instances like this even exist, though, is exactly why I argue that the two skills shouldn't have a disparity of damage output. You don't see a skill on any other job that requires you use a different one for less damage when the platform isn't shaped favorably. The closest thing to this I can think of was that in ARR, Leviathan sill has a normal positional ring for his first phase despite the rear positional being inaccessible, and this is something they've changed in fights where you can't reliably hit positionals going forward, think E4S where big titan has an omni-positional hit ring.
    Displacing on Leviathan when the platform is split is easy. Just stand on the inner edge and a bit back from Levi's hitbox. For Suzaku, once again just hug the inner ring and Displacement is perfectly safe. Hell, Corps-a-corps is more dangerous than Displacement in those fights.

    I scared my raid group by saying "if I die, I die" the first time I did it, but I haven't ever actually fallen off the platform doing it.
