On the subject of PvP Liadan's right. It's 3 AP and we get a ranged attack that removes sprint when inflicted from behind the target and also has a 20% chance to inflict heavy. You get AP and skills you slowly get better and better. Making me feel DRGs are a bit of a late bloomer class.
In my experience I started with impulse rush, then Purify, getting weapon throw next. Not to mention our spineshatter dive stuns for like 2 seconds, enough to secure a kill and leaves us next to a target. Jump still does silly damage and now is quicker, and coupled with mercy stroke makes us dangerous DPS. But I will concede that it is rough to chase people down without your jumps.
