Dragoon "Jump": Ranged or Melee?

[Zenmaku]

Jump isn't on the GCD. You can use it to cancel the animation of Full Thrust and you do the damage of both Full Thrust and Jump while losing very little time (about 0.5 seconds at level 50). This increases our DPS Tremendously.

Yes, it screws us over if we use it poorly, but if we use it in situations where there is not going to be an AOE attack or we are safe during it (such as during enemy AOEs that are not aiming at us) then it can greatly keep us #2 on the Aggro board.

For every Dragoon GCD move, there is an equivalent ability or attack you can use in between. Internal Release, Blood for Blood, Life Break, Power Surge, Leg Sweep, Any Jump, use your abilities in between your GCD attacks and you will maximize your DPS potential.

Note: The best attacks to use Jump after for the animation cancelling effect I've noticed to be Full thrust, and actually even better -> Chaos Thrust .

I support the immunity from one side, but from the other side.. Once PVP gets added that immunity may be pretty overpowered :/

You'd already essentially be "immune" even with immunity, right? It would make it harder for the opposition to target you, not like NPCs which can no matter where you are. But even if that isn't the case, they said PvP will have different skill effects so immunity in PvE doesn't necessarily mean immunity in PvP. They need to fix it for PvE though as most players will probably be focusing on that more than PvP.

Gap closer + immunity please. Don't understand why things on the ground can hit me while I'm in the air.
