So I hear that they're planning on splitting the Jump timers into 4 abilities now, which means that Spirit/Soul jump are now on significantly longer timers and are completely unaffected by merits.

High Jump is completely useless in high haste situations, and due to the massive delay between performing a JA then your next action (The 2 second delay), using Jump in a high haste situation just lowers your overall damage.

Why so nerf?
