The vulnerability of Jumps..

[Yogarogue]

I noticed that while using jump the duration of time between when jump is initiated and when the hit is landed you can still take damage, including damage from enemy red area attacks... I feel that during this time the Dragoon should be invulnerable...

Also, when comes time for patch 2.1 and for PVP to develop, the only gap closer we have is on a 3 minute cooldown... Our other jump abilities either return us to our original position or send us in the opposite direction we're facing. Should this be concerning? Are dragoons going to be a very easily kited pvp class???

atm, all melee will be vulnerable. You cant hit a moving target.

They said they will not make jumps invulnerable, however they are speeding up the animation in 2.1

Couldn't resist, I am sorry and also a bad person.

Demand Bard nerfs, that solves all melee problems this game has

Should they also make mages invincible while they cast their 3-second spells that root them in place?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get skills with invulnerability frames...

(By the way, you can always just... look backwards if you want Elusive Jump to go 'forward')

I am no DRG, but as a mage, if I find myself in an AoE midcast I can interupt my spell and move out of range (lag be willing) and recast. I could be wrong, but I don't think this is possible mid jump, so you're basically screwed - to which I say, time your jumps wisely or let me be invincible while I cast 3 second spells!

I am a DRG, as mentioned in the letter of producer, they will not give the invulnerability for the jumps, it will only make the class imbalance not only for PVE but when it comes for future PVP too.

What I experience as one of those end-game DRG is definitely the casting animation of the jumps. DRG Jump skills fyi is not affected by Global CD, this makes it that you can actually time the skill usage in between the GCD skills.

Example, True Thrust --> Power Surge --> Vorpal Thrust --> Jump --> Full Thrust rotation.

By right we try our best to ensure that we have an action at every second, but the Jump casting animation is too long, by the time my Full Thrust is ready, I am still in the sky just about to land down the attack.

Besides that the casting animation makes me reluctant to use jump because you don't have enough time to dodge enemy skills. Fixing the casting animation will definitely be a strong boost for DRG in my opinion.

well, i woud like to be able to move ghost drg during jump that would be awesome
something like you use jump, your char changes to look like in stealth and you can move around, basically adjusting the landing location
i mean you are dragoon you can jump into sky, why would you not be able to choose where you land :P
