The new update adds 7% WS damage as a trait for dragoon sub. Would the hate shedding properties of high jump, and WSD help more than berserk warcry? Berserk tends to get me killed in dynamis Divergence. I don't like to use it since I pull hate, and can get killed even with occultation (like against mega bosses wave 2 or 3 where you zerg).

Don't really play blu, but typically, berserk and warcry only help you if you are not hitting pDif cap.

If you are getting cor/geo/bard buffs and using food, and the mob is getting dia 3/light shot, frailty, etc, there is a good chance you are not getting much out of berserk and warcry.

So the 7% WSD and Conserve tp might be better than the double attack from war.

High jump is nice... but without a lot of hate shedding moves, its not going to be fantastic.

Don't forget jumps for fast extra TP, especially with AM3 up.

I mostly use BLU in mid to low level encounters and /DRG is looking good on paper.

Moving to 2-3/5 Malignance with AM3 up + DRG sub is sounding real, real nice for Tizona users. I've toyed with /DRK a bit for the PDL as well, but 7% WSD and jumps to get AM3 faster sound way better, at least in my mind.

DRG's first PDL trait tier is at lvl 30, so if BLU has no native PDL then /DRG would get them one tier at least.

BLU has no native PDL trait or spells (yet) to get it. We get PDL1 from WAR sub standard and I personally was toying around with PDL2 from DRK sub to see if it was worthwhile, to clarify. DRG keeps you at the same tier as WAR (1) but gives Jumps + 7WSD vs. Berserk/Warcry/Agressor, which should pull ahead.
