Something leveling SAM and RDM early on has spoiled me on: more Jobs really could use a backstep ability.

Yes I know the meme is people flying off a ledge from DRG jumps or displacement but

Tanks and Monk especially could be a lot more fun with that extra bit of mobility

Since those are Jobs we’re positioning is key.

Meanwhile if BRD is using theirs someone probably just fucked up.

*where positioning

(Mind you I almost always fight in Melee range with most things anyway so I may be a weird edgecase.)

"If BRD is using theirs, they weren't paying attention till the fuckhuge AoE marker appeared."

FTFY.

Man I rarely use my backstep on Sam...

EITHER WAY

I find myself using it fairly often on SAM, and use it as much for mobility on RDM as I do my overall DPS.

Prof. Oak: EMEGEN! THERE'S A TIME AND A PLACE FOR DISPLACEMENT!

I am still a little proud of being able to make that joke at my own expense

i really want a backstep for MNK so i can be even dumber about staying in proximity aoes for those last two seconds to keep my stacks

pls

alternately, an ogcd that only works in melee range but lets me sidestep around to the target's rear automatically, for bosses with huge hitboxes that turn around a lot like fucking suzaku

that would be great, too. Really just SOMETHING extra for MNK mobility.
