Evasion jump - a step in the right direction?

[Rogue]

If by step on the right direction you mean possibility for more abilities for DRG like this? Yes.

for all close range melee (particularly Dragoon and monk)

im all-for anything that will get more melee in partys instead of blm all the time

I have a MNK friend who allways gets asked to go blm to everything even though he never wants to, and i never get to play my dragoon either.
