    Does anyone have recommendations on when to use jump? Seeing that there is an animationlock preventing you from using other skills for a short time, i dont think its smart to use it whenever possible (basic thrust combo seems more efficient in terms of dps).

    What I'm noticing most Dragoons are failing at is that Jump is an off-attack (it had it's own attack timer). Therefore, just like Leg Sweep, you can use it in between combo attacks. This increases your DPS incredibly. For style points, I recommend spamming it as your Full Thrust animation is going off because then it looks like your character takes off from an upward attack into a Jump.

    This is how i am using it currently, however the difference between jump and leg sweep is that the animation of leg sweep is short enough to fit perfectly between two GCDs, jump however has a longer animation lock, technically cutting a bit of your dps, so i wasnt sure if thats the right way or if there is a more efficient use.
