RDM Engagement/Displacement/Corps-a-Corps in END

[Kaedys]

The whole point of movement tools is to prevent potency loss while putting you in an advantageous position. Engagement is now better is every conceivable way for all the reasons Saber mentioned above.

Engagement isn't a movement tool. It's an oGCD attack that happens to share a cooldown with a movement skill (well, excepting that Displacement is only sorta a movement skill).

That's precisely why I want to see the potency entirely removed from Displacement and Corps-a-corps (and ideally, for Displacement to work like Elusive Jump, not requiring a target and being based on your character orientation). I want them to actually be movement skills. Currently, those two are doing double duty as movement skills and oGCD attacks that have a side effect of moving you around (potentially into unhealthy positions), and it causes them to be bad at both use-cases. We don't have them available when we need them for movement, because we're using them for damage, and using them for damage can be hazardous for your health due to the forced movement built in.

Remove their potency, remove the CD linkage with Engagement, and make Engagement a weave for use between the melee combo skills instead. That gives us actually usable movement abilities, ones we can actually use for mobility, rather than for optimizing damage, and then something useful to weave around our melee abilities during the combo.

Also, RE: your specific argument, the charges added to them in theory alleviate some of the potency loss, since you can keep a charge "in the bank" while still letting the cooldown tick. However, it's still a small potency loss, because you're not using those charges during buffs. If it gains you more GCD uptime, though, it's worth the trade-off.
