Trivia

• Due to this action's lengthy animation lock in earlier versions of this game, using this action often came at the risk of rendering one unable to dodge enemy AoEs, sometimes leading to death. These quirks resulted in the creation of memes calling dragoon a "floor tank".
• The changes in patch 6.4 were likely a response to previous limitations that rendered Jump or High Jump unusable in some parts of certain encounters, such as  Eden's Verse: Furor (Savage) and  Mount Ordeals (Extreme), causing delays in use. The delays were highly deleterious to dragoon's rigid damage rotation.
