Jump doesn't even really give us movement since it returns us to our starting location for some unknown reason. That aspect needs to go as soon as possible.

....and I agree with the OP. All...

I would be happy with the current CD on JUMP if it just performed as a real Gap closer (no return) and gave Dragoons damage immunity throughout the animation and for a second after we land. Dragoons...

Why does Bard need a DPS Limit Break? It's still a Support/DPS hybrid Job.
They bring Utility and the current limit break fits the bill.

Jump is a mess IMO. At present it's a badass looking filler skill with zero Utility.

a) It should be a gap closer yet the Return to Origin feature prevents this. Without that "feature" we would...

Has anyone considered that Repair costs relative to potential daily income at 50 are a throttling mechanism?
It seems you have a limited number of times you can farm runs before the repair costs...

Bard should have been left alone. I assume it was the Archers in Beta QQ'ing that their Job wasn't a DPS role and thus SE caved.
Current Bards seem more like Rangers with a couple of Group...

Buffing the XP from Dungeons would have numerous benefits.

It would give players an alternative leveling option that isn't zerg based and requires more skill.
It would mean more people running...

What's wrong with being a DoT Class? I think it's good that the Summoner has a different play style than a Black Mage.
We have one Nuke Caster and one DoT/Pet Caster. Sounds good to me.

Thanks for all the replies. They seem to line up with my fears. JUMP seems to be the big issue since it's really only a snazzy looking rotation filler IMO. It's great that it's off the GCD but i...

If you're in a group you also benefit from the Chain XP Bonus if the mobs are high enough level. That adds up crazy fast especially when you level an Alt Class and add the XP boost.

Just wanted some thoughts from players in current end game content.

Primarily Spineshatter and Elusive Jump at 3 minutes. My impression is we don't bring much Utility beyond stuns so it seems...

Do Buffs like Heavy Thrust get applied when we hit the ability keybind or when they land?

To clarify.....if there's 1 sec left on HT and I hit an ability does the Buff get applied or would it not...

FATE XP needs to be nerfed and Dungeon XP needs to be Buffed so they're on par in terms of potential XP/Hour.

I like FATES as well but not the Murder Balls of 30 or more players running around...

Well as Dreamer said Bard are still meant to be support. Removing Conjurer was a big mistake IMO and SE gave into the QQ from Archers wanting a DPS Job. Silly.

Archers have an End Game DPS...

They added capacity to the Duty Finder servers which means they can lift the population restrictions they implemented during EA.
They are fixing the issues. Read the patch notes as well. They're...

Isn't that an ISP issue? I've never had throttling with FIOS.

Did you totally ignore the giant post at the top of this page?

Can anyone explain the purpose of JUMP beyond looking badass? The "Return to Original Location" seems odd. I can see it having use as a second ranged attack for those times when we need to get out...

You're level 46. How much time could you have you missed?

LOL seriously? AFK'ers may be selfish but there's nothing they're doing that violates the terms of service. You need to get a grip.

Even if they had an AFK system in place you'd still have...

The solution to the instance issues during EA was to put a tight cap on server populations. Once they get more capacity for the Instance servers and the Lobby hopefully they can expand the...

Agreed. Melee should have higher Base Damage to off set the positional requirements.

Utility should also be factored in. Either every DPS class has to bring equal Utility (boring IMO) or there...

Aion had the exact same issues for the first couple of weeks but at least they had log in Queues.
The Aion devs wound up doing random server restarts to boot the AFK'ers which isn't the best...

Wel they locked Gilgamesh and Leviathan right away so no new characters since Saturday. Who knows if the caps on the other servers were the same or higher.

It's brought back the bad memories I have from Aion's launch. It had the same issues with AFK "Shops". It got to the point where people put out sign's on their shops apologizing that they were AFK...
