Curing DRG during Jump

[Neika]

Not sure if this is a bug, but it is very frustrating. I can't seem to cure DRG's while they are using their jumps. Even using <stal> doesn't work. Please fix this if it was not intended.

hehe.. yeah.. this could be a problem....seems like I'm spamming jumps sometimes.

It depends on what you compare it to. A DRG jumping in FFXI means you have to wait a second more and cast cure again. A DRG jumping in FF5 means an attack round passes and you missed your chance at healing the DRG and he will jump again next attack round too and you'll never get to heal him.

In that sense it is no problem at all in FF11. But of course one would love to be able to heal DRGs at any time.

I do not think this is a bug. DRG's jump actually make the Dragoon not targetable during the duration of jump, and shed enmity as a result. the duration depend on the jump a Dragoon use. with Super Jump intensionally last for long duration to evade vital attack.

While in a party or alliance of 2-18 people, I cannot cast any cure spells (Cure, cure II, cure III, etc.) on a DRG, or /DRG while they use any of the jump ablities (jump, high jump, super jump, etc). My cure macro is set as: /ma Cure IV <stal>. When I use this macro while a drg is using a jump ability, nothing happens. I don't even get an error message or a "out of range" message. If this cannot be fixed, can you please add a message stating that I cannot cast cure due to jump. I keep thinking my macro didn't work or I'm about to be disconnected because nothing happens.

As it was said it's no bug 90DRG here. you are not able to target during a super jump that is intended
