The problem of people having to route themselves due to small obstacles will no longer be an issue. However, in situations where jumping from a ledge will result in the character's bones being broken due the ledge being too high it will be restricted. He apologizes for that. In cases where if you get stuck in a ditch or something like that by jumping, he tells you to please use the unstuck/return command. So don't be afraid to explore the mechanic.
    I definitely want it to be a consideration for a boss mechanic. If Shiva had an aura that hits everyone in the raid with a debuff that stacks that can only be removed through constant motion, then jump has a use for the melee DPS and the tank, who are the ones that would have to be within range of Shiva and cannot afford to run around to prevent the debuff from stacking.

    Would also help because I would also want Shiva to have the Flame Wreath mechanic (minus the flame wreath song).

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
