"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.
