Now that Arcadion is out, it's time to talk about gap closers that still have damage

So that they could use the same animation for 3 jobs, but I don't know why they did that instead of just removing the potency and keeping the skills the same otherwise.

There are jobs with no damage gap closers, no one is stopping you guys from playing them.

The middle ground would have been leaving the damn gap closers alone, and letting people with skill optimize them, while players without didn't.

I'm not the one asking to make every job the same. If you don't like something, the game offers you options. Plain and simple.

To be honest this still blows my mind, hear me out (this coming from a non dragoon player):

Ninja-> drops smoke bomb and teleports to spot, or literally becomes a lightning cat and pounces target
Samurai -> runs and unsheats sword
Red Mage-> magic whips and stabs target
Monk -> literally raging demons target

Why the hell cant dragoon just jump to target like PVP LB in fact just have it animate like the pvp LB but instantly

I like the idea of an inverse elusive jump type of animation where they flip or do a proper long jump instead of just an awkward hover across the ground. Like at least give it some flavor for the different jobs lmao.

I mean they constantly take away abilities from this class, every expansion.

Now the toin coss is:
Which one out of Abyssal Drain or Carve and Split will go away first next time.
Or maybe both at the same time?

Carve and Spit turning into Abyssal Drain after using Delirium is my guess.

I would of just turned Plunge into a GCD Weaponskill, that way it's only good as a gap-closer. Maybe combo it with Unmend for flavor and increase the "Flood of..." and "Edge of..." abilities range to 20 for weaving in between the two? (I haven't played DRK since ShB, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I can't even remember if "Flood of..." and "Edge of.." are your spam abilities or not. ٩( ᗒᗨᗕ )۶)

Bring back plunge!

I still feel so neutered as a Dragoon without my Spineshatter Dive.
