High Jump being movement is not very good at all.

I mean, yeah, jobs get inconvenienced by mechanics.. Welcome to FFXIV. It's not unique to dragoon at all so I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make.

i mean considering it's a thread about dragoon qol specifically i'm not really sure what the point of bringing in "All jobs are inconvenienced by mechanics" is, the point is some are way more inconvenienced than others in some aspects, and there's genuinely no reason jump should (as one of many examples) kill my panel partner during e9s on the chance that they can't kill their cloud, or even just on an accidental mistarget. It's not a matter of "jobs inconvenienced", it's a matter of outdated battle system mechanics still getting in the way of making these jobs feel as good as they should be.

the solution would be keeping the other jumps as gap closers as is to make it punishing if you try to greed, not punish you for trying to keep your central mechanic on somewhat proper rotation and getting killed by an aoe circle because server tick dictated you should die to it, on a move that really has no reason to send you forward towards the boss to begin with. you could maybe argue "oh you can sort of dodge some aoes with old jump" but new jump is a split second and still shifts your hitbox. You already have to deal with end lag if it comes up while you have to move during a mechanic as is, so it's twice as punishing that it moves you whatsoever in addition.

So like. I dunno, fam. We're supposed to be reporting feedback for things that don't feel good, the point is that does not feel good. Big difference between "as a red mage i can't melee just yet because the boss is doing a quick mechanic" or "i may have to sac my dps and clemency for the sake of prog" versus "why does bind not let me use four of my ogcds, one of which is tied to my central mechanic"
