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.

if it were just a jump back, 60 seconds would put it in line with shoulder tackle and featherfoot. any lower is just stupid. and the fact that it's also an enmity dump complicates matters. chameleon is a 3min cd. and doesn't drg af boots cut a minute off the recast anyway? so you want an evasive maneuver on a lower cooldown than anything other melee get *while also working as an aggro dump*... and you have the nerve to talk about balance? ffs.

besides, jobs are already extremely balanced. not the devs fault players haven't figured this out yet

just reduce the amount of enmity dropped as i stated before. Being able to jump back seems like a waste of a long awaited job skill with a 3 min recast. Like i said i dont even really play the class, it just seems off to me.

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...

Give Monks a teleport effect like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmux5xw9MbQ or like Akuma's teleport effect.

If mnk should get any of Akumas moves it should be this one

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.

reduce elusive jump timer to 30 seconds

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.

People never read those.

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 just thought I'd point out that, that is the WRONG place for it to be since that is website feedback and suggestions.

But moving onto the OP. I think 30 seconds is a bit too quick with the emnity down, but 60-90 seconds to match chameleon would be good.

Chameleon is 180 seconds. 120 seconds on ARC/BRD.

shorten to 120 second then to match, since its supposed to be the equivilent but fancy looking.
