DRG How do you use 'dem Backflips?

[TheKingSlayer]

What a lot of drgs don't realize is the full capability of our backflip (elusive jump). It wasn't until one of the drgs in my FC explained to me that elusive jump is not just about enmity reduction, but gap management and maximizing dps.

As an example on Titan ex, right after super bombs, when titan lands in center, everyone stacks south to bait the 5 way landslide. At this point you can backflip over the 5 way and land right behind titan to start the IDC combo. *Credit to Dominus for this one*

What's are some ways you use your backflips?

[Darske]

Elusive Jump back out of AoE, spineshatter back in, tilt the analog stick. It should be stunned long enough for me to land behind the target, setting up Impulse->Disembowel (and Chaos Thrust, once I finally get off my lazy butt and finish leveling DRG)

T6 is very useful,
T8 even more ( not sure if intended :P )
along with above mentioned
There are many ways it can be used, and like the OP stated, it is VERY under used currently

that would probably be the only time i'd use elusive jump on titan; to get in one last hit before getting away from bombs. i mainly use the backflip to get emnity or slow-effect off me, or to jump off a cliff and not take damage i hardly ever use it to escape an aoe because of that .3 sec delay, unless you know the fight completely its not worth trying to use it reflexively imo. definitely useful to get out of briars in t6 when a dive is on cooldown

Elusive Jump out when other people trap me in Leviathan's water weights and the dive is coming at me saving me from a sure death. They're all like omgwtf.

T6/T7/T8 alot of drgs dont know much about T8 and backflipping out of ballistic missile lol, its useful when going for mines and having a random bind on u then u dont have to let your party worry about u :P

[Taleon]

Only thing I do not "like" about ballistic and Elusive is that it more then likely, is not intended. It does not remove the bind, and ballistic states that it can not be removed. Since Elusive does not remove the bind, this is why I simply think it is unintended to work, just an over sight.
Add to the fact that it places you out of dps range, it is not always my favorite time to use it.
Normally, I will only when I am out of position to my group, so they do not need to travel to me. Rest of the time, I take care of ballistic like normal, since you can dps and handle the mechanic at the same time.

I've also found that backflips are great on Levi. When Levi goes for the flop, be sure to stand on the water spout side, this will be where his head spawns. As you're sliding down on the flop towards Levi's head, hit him with a phlebotomize, square up to the head, then backflip to the tail which should be coming up just as you land (tail comes up a few seconds after the head). Just be careful not to flip off the edge

[PArcher]

I use Elusive on Levi a fair amount, usually to either get to a Spume when I don't have another jump, or after the railings go down and I'm out of position (sure a lot of groups have seen me run towards Levi as he slams and think I'm trying to wipe the party)

I haven't used it a ton in T6, but I haven't had to much yet.

Love it on T7; use it a lot with shriek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXStmAsHSuU

Learning T8 (only started last night) and the best place I can see it right now is when I have to explode a far-off mine and get back quickly.
