Warclaw skill: "Dash" is improperly bound. Before the "Janthir Wilds" update, core key bind (key bind assigned outside the user control) was key "Space".
Currently, the core key bind is "dodge".
It is not possible to correct this issue by changing key bindings in "Options -> Control Options".
Changing key binds in "Control Options" can end up with escalation of the issue, for example:
If user binds "Space" to "Mount Ability 1" or "Mount Ability 2", it not only blocks jumping for the Warclaw, but also blocks jumping for other mounts and using mount ability from core key bind.
Stepps to reproduce:
1. Position player on Warclaw on slope (hill, edge of wall, big slope, etc.)
2. Press jump button (space).
3. While in mid-air, repeatedly press jump button (space) in order to perform "dash" skill.
Expected result: Warclaw performs dash.
Observed result: Warclaw does not use "Dash" skill when using space key.
Note: Dash performed on lad and in mid-air are both affected by this issue.
I tried to adjust for the mount skill button years ago by putting weapon skill 5 as the same keybind as mount ability 2, since they occupy the same space in the action bar. With the warclaw update, they've used weapon skill keybinds for 1-4, which is great... but then they mucked it up by making mount ability 1 go into the fifth action slot. So I ended up with a bar that had the same key mapped to different skills at the same time. If I hit the skill, it would use the mount ability version and not the "Lance" skill.
I've rebinded my mount ability 1 for now to compensate, but I'd really appreciate it if they could do away with some of the redundant binding and just call it Action Slot 1-5 and be done with it.

They can fix the mount keybind issues by giving mounts a keybind option for all 5 skills. This is been a problem for a long time were only mount skills "1 and 2" are bound using 4 and 5 spaces on the skill bar, and mount skills 1-3 use regular skill keybinds. Its a ridiculous system and they need to fix it.
