reduce elusive jump timer to 30 seconds

[Alderton]

Really, though, this suggestion has the same problem as almost every one on these forums: You're offering a solution while barely (if at all) giving attention to the problem you're trying to remedy.

The issue here isn't that elusive jump has too long of a recast time, because anything you should be able to avoid using this ability, should also be able to evade by just running away. Your melee range is long, you don't have to be right up on the mob, and that alone gets you out of range of some AoEs.

The issue that it seems you are trying to suggest is that there is an imbalance between the risks of melee dps vs ranged, without the rewards. This problem has been brought up countless times and didn't require a new thread.

Why offer an opinion on a class/job you don't really play? The skill isn't about moving as much as it is about reducing enmity. It's perfect for boss fights and that's it. I think the timer is perfect and you already get a reduced timer with AF gear.

I WOULD like to see more movement skills for combat like a dodging ability. You know, to avoid moves quickly instead of running. But that's a whole mother topic...

Warrior just needs a epic DIVE ROLL! to the backside of a monster to avoid them frontal AOEs!

That or just give us some epic hiding skills to ditch the mob "Imagine the guy as a angry mob looking for someone to kill.

mnk should get their dash skill cooldown reduced too then. A DRG/LNC can hit a mob from a huge range, a MNK/PGL can't.

Or you could just post in the suggestions sub-forum, since you're, ya know...suggesting something.

It's not even working as an evasive move. You don't register as having moved until after you've landed, so using it as an evasive ability goes out the window. As it stands now, Elusive Jump is just an enmity drop with a fancy animation. For that purpose, the recast is perfectly acceptable.

Now, if they can truly make it an evasive skill (which I doubt they can until 2.0) then I wouldn't be against them lowering the amount of enmity dropped as well as the recast.

I disagree, Elusive Jump is simply your "Ohh crap!" button, getting you out of trouble if you do not watch yourself. Making it 30 seconds will let the Dragoon go all out without the worry of hate.
