i think its a bit harsh that dread spike reset surge's.

this is one of the reasons i dont bother with surges, i mean dread spike still negates an attack even with no surges stacked..

and what am i supposed to do.. go through the trouble of keeping power surge stacked at III just to have it reset because i need to use dread spike? which like i said works allmost as good w/o surge.

and on top of that im not convinced that power surge will out parse non powersurge- what with the extra tp which can give alot more weaponskill oppurtunities and the extra weapon skills themselves give more TP- even doing an auto attack instead of power surge will give you an extra ws over the course of a battle.

so while the disadvantages of power surge are very clear, the advantages are abstract to say the least.

but i digress, on the topic, i think being able to dodge damage especially via jumps is kind of the dragoons trademark and it would be nice to see this.
