I would like it to still do damage so that I can mix it into my damage rotation. Bard currently has an ability that moves you slightly backward but does no damage, so it's never on my hot-bars as a result.

So a skill needs to be damage for it to have a hotbar spot? That seems a little backwards, especially if you can use mobility to reduce downtime or get out of mechanics...

Bard is a terrible example though because it has entirely free mobility. Therefore, it never needs Repelling Shot. Red Mage, being a Caster, can actually benefit from a movement tool after creating a weave space. Making said movement tool deal damage is counterintuitive because you'll simply want to dump all your charges under raid buffs unless you know you'll need it for x spot and y time.

A better example would be Elusive Jump on Dragoon, which sees plenty of use despite it offering no potency. That's why I find it useful because it'll always be available when and if I need it.
