Yelp, that is indeed how the drg abilities work at the moment. Even the backflip ability that jumps you back 15yalms registers you in the starting location until the animation is complete.

I'm assuming it's a bug, when your class defining mobility cooldowns have a negative affect on your mobility... that's not just a quality of life issue, it's a broken mechanic that needs addressing :/

There are encounters in Bahamut's Coil that would make these abilities unusable and basically prevent DRG from being used, if this was changed. Just throwing that out there.

There's also just some delay with skills, targets, and affects in general being off in timing. I found it surprising that I could be hit during the Jump, but it's hardly a problem. The animation is very short from hit to landing that I couldn't even say it wasn't skill delay.

I don't see how it has a "negative affect" on mobility.
