DRG Jump

[Wilan]

Because jumps aren't safe with a lot of mechanics. Especially when the game can be unforgiving for messing up once.

When it comes to boss fights it is best to consider using your "Jump"s as a punishing ability for when they mess up.

If you know what you're doing, you can safely jump all the time even on Titan. I do that. Sure, you're an idiot if you jump knowing a landslide is coming up, but doing so while landslide has already fixed is a great idea. It's all about timing.
Not to mentions that jumps give you a GREAT mobility. You can quickly travel over yalms covered in DoT circles, quickly close in on a target when it gets far from you, or swiftly getting out of the way of a big AoE with Elusive Jump.

It's really only unsafe if you have no idea of what you're doing and just smashing buttons.

I'll admit that I'm not even close to being a top tier DRG, but I try to always include my Jumps in my rotation.

Impulse Drive Combo-->Debuffs-->Heavy Thrust-->Monk Buff+Blood for Blood-->True Thrust+Vorpal Thrust-->Life Surge-->Full Thrust--> Jump Buff-->Jump-->Spine Dive&Dragon Dive

i use jump depend on enemy hp which is thrash mob no need to use jump
for boss Impulse Drive Combo>Phlebotomize>Heavy thrust>Internal Release>True Thrust>BFB>Vorpal Thrust>Power Surge>Full Thrust>Jump>True Thrust>Leg Sweep/Spineshatter>Vorpal Thrust>Life Surge>Full Thrust>Dragondive

[Empressia]

direct burst?no no no, spineshatter dive, dragonfire dive and reverse elusive jump are all gap closers to reduce dps downtime

[Kerowyn]

Depending on the fight you don't want to be weaving Spineshatter into your Rotation. Some fights require a timed Stun for specific interrupts on boss abilities. Using Spineshatter will count towards the DR Timer on the boss.

I like to weave a Jump in after a True Thrust combo since it about takes up the GCD time, but in some fights it's not the best idea to let yourself get locked into an animation if there's a lot of AOE attacks or something.

"jump aren't safe", guys... I can't remember how many times jumps saved my ass...
On titan ex, I got a rez during a landslide, I could not avoid it so I jumped (stunning jump) and instead of being knocked-back I was safe on the boss. This is one of the countless examples I have ... drg that are not used to use their jump are bad because they don't have the reflex to use them when it can save their ass from a mistake. And the deference between being alive and dead for a dd is eveything.
Dead dd don't do any damages.
We (drg) are given amazing tools (and very cool), it's a shame not to use them.

I use my jumps all the time.

I mostly use spineshatter jump as a distance closer though, and save basic Jump and Dragonfire for damaging. But that's just me personally.

[Warlyx]

u can jump and still move now , u arent locked in place anymore

weaving jumps is a huge dps boost (jumps are off GCD)

life surge >full thrust + power surge > jump for burst dmg , 1300 dmg + 1100 dmg in the same GCD? <3

[MurakumoMillennium]

Depending on the fight, I may keep spineshatter or dragonfire on CD for increased mobility. T6 comes to mind, if you're doing the briar strat since it lowers time in/out significantly, as well as helping get the bee down faster.

life surge >full thrust + power surge > jump for burst dmg , 1300 dmg + 1100 dmg in the same GCD? <3

2 GCDs worth of time there, and it would be more efficient to use something between power surge and jump, as they're both off the GCD. Doing surge + jump back to back causes you to delay your next on GCD ability.

Also 1300 full thrust with life surge? I wish I had 110ilvl already, because i90+ with an allagan weapon doesn't even let me do that on trash.
