What? You can't compare corps and displacement to aetherial, they aren't even remotely the same thing. AD is instant teleportation to any one party member you want and it's on a super short cooldown. Corps and displacement (especially displacement), if anything, are more of a hindrance than a boon for movement because you have to use them on cooldown for damage and that means you have to learn the fight around using them. It's not free movement, it's "use this right now or else you're losing damage." It's not, "This helps you," it is "You MUST do this and you MUST learn the fight based around using this." They are two very very different things.
