DRG: Why no reduced fall damage?

Seriously, it's the most useless trait in the game. ARR has a mechanic that makes it impossible to die to fall damage, you will survive with 1hp anyway. For this reason I'd like to ask the OP: why the hell do you want a trait, that every half serious nin complains about and doesn't bring anything to your job? Again, it would replace another trait, chose whichever you like. I don't get it...

I can see why the OP wants it, it makes sense.

No reason why every Job has to have the same number of traits anyway.

PS: /sigh It seems on the DPS forums, people will oppose anything, no matter how harmless.

Pretty much. While it does make sense, it's a pretty useless trait as it stands. But the amount of salt from all the ninjas and monks is hilariously real.

Like, wow.

So long you aren't in combat you will survive falls with 1 HP

I agree, SE should give DRG the trait and take it away from NIN.

Naw, as the other drgs have mentioned, drgs have elusive jumps. Instead, every drg should change direction and ask for 30 second cooldown elusive jumps instead!

I may have failed the xi dragoon academy's harsh training of standing very still in jeuno for days on end (leg muscle training, you see) and ended up in pld school but dammit that was my first choice! Even if I'm not raiding as a dragoon in xiv either, I still want drg to be stronk. They deserve to be the dps of the year, all years.

Maybe think of it as a matter of technique. As stated, when a Dragoon uses a jump skill off a cliff, they take absolutely no falling damage. When they run off it without taking any precautions, it hurts like any other class. Like if a trained diver just walks off a diving board.

Maybe in Heaven's ward we'll get an AOE placeable jump manuever so we can descend with style. (or jump between close enough but too far for a normal jump floating island).

I was thinking about a Jump skill that damages mobs in between its flight path.

hehe if we are talking about jump skills we want, i want a channeled one where i jump into the air and rain down spears in a targeted aoe area like freya in FFIX. Or maybe some sort of dragon breath attack.

I agree, its minor but significant. Our job skills are based around jumping! We should be able to land properly...
