The simplest solution would be to just remove the damage from these skills and have them purely for mobility, but it’s true that it seems silly to slam into an enemy with your shoulder or weapon/shield and do no damage.
Not any sillier than Repelling Shot requiring a target yet doing no damage tbh


At the least, retreating moves should have no damage, simply to reduce all of the times people trying to maximize their DPS instead threw themselves off a platform or into an AOE. Dragoon is the meme king for it, but red mages with badly-aimed Displacement are a strong contender.
This. There's too many instances where RDM literally can't use Displacement without killing themselves and I don't feel like that's fair to them.
