New MNK evasive ability please. Like BRD/DRG evasion jumps.

[Arkista]

Can MNKs get a evasive ability like BRD and DRG? BRD gets Repelling Shot and DRG get Elusive Jump. MNKs don't get anything, I think a Backflip or some kind of upward Backflip Kick could work. It could be a non-damage ability like DRG or a low potency ability like BRD.

maybe. Fighting with monk on knights in turn 4 is kinda annoying..

The dragoon one you're talking about isn't exactly an evasion/avoid damage thing. Try using it in CT when there's crap on the floor, you still take damage until you land on the save zone(which takes a long time). You'll probably end up dying if you try using this in something like titan/ifrit extreme.

I was told that using Repelling Shot / Elusive Jump makes it so you can't actually go off the edge. Instead you wind up on some other area of the arena.

The concern is less going off the edge and more going into something bad or having the game still think you're where you started when the bad thing detonates.

You may like DRGs elusive jump because it looks cool but in terms of practical use its faster to just walk out of the red. Its main use is the build in enmity drop.
Tbh i wished you wouldnt even backjump, as in most cases its just a dps loss because you have to walk back like an idiot, when all you really wanted was to decrease your enmity or get rid of that bind.

In most cases you'll prefer to walk out of AoE by yourself because of how Elusive Jump works. As long as your character hasn't landed you count as not moving from your starting point. So most of the time you get hit because the AoE lands before you land yourself. Even if visualy you were out of the area, for the game you're still accounted as being inside it. While you would have walked 2 yalms on your right/left you wouldn't have been hit.

Definitly ..... not. Elusive Jump near a border kills you. The only special thing it does is that you don't have the long fall to your death, your character is somewhat teleported to the bottom to die. You just gain 2 seconds toward your death But you definitly fall, there's no invisible wall.
Well in a sense you're right in fact: you're effectively teleported to some other area of the arena: the bottom and you're dead

I play DRG and BRD and I use them both and I really don't have issues when I use them. Just thought it would something nice for MNK to have. Dragon Kick can kinda get you out of an AoE, but It would be nice to have a real skill.

I like your signature!

Those abilities are mostly for the aggro drop.

[Warrlordd]

Yet you have featherfoot and Second Wind which are both really strong... nope. No pity for you.
