Talk:Jump Shot

Rocket jump much?--Tuomir 19:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Since I personally found the video somewhat confusing; the skill rocket-jumps and does some AoE damage? Zolann The Irreverent 20:01, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Leap attack?

Is this a leap attack? | Corvus 14:30, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

launch

the description may include the word "launch", but i highly doubt it's the effect that knocks you into the air, considering that's a negative thing to happen to you, and is prevented by things like Stone Boots or similar. There are skills/traits/effects that stop this effect. I think someone should really look into whether it really should be there, and get it removed if they find out its not. ~~ Kiomadoushi 03:30, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Stone boots is an elementalist trait, so it wont affect the engineer. --Xu Davella 03:34, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps Kiomadoushi was thinking about PvP. Venom20 03:42, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Could someone please test if this can be used to scale a wall in WvW? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.217.36.200 (talk) at 14:20, 24 February 2013 (UTC).

Change in AoE nature

Why was this changed from a cluster PBAoE to a normal PBAoE? 88.152.26.50 14:41, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

What is "cluster PBAoE"? —Dr Ishmael 15:36, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

It used to cause an area effect which in turned had area effects. :P Look at my awesome MSPaint diagram. The left one shows how Jump Shot currently works - in a circle around the user all foes are struck once (well twice actually, for take-off and landing). The right one shows how Jump Shot used to work - all foes in a circle around the user are hit by an inivisible effect which caused a circle-shaped effect on each (well up to five) foe hit. All foes struck by one of this sub-set of effects would suffer from the vulnerability. In our example that'd be 2 x 3 stacks per foe for the left diagram and 2 x 3 x 2 stacks per foe for the right one. Only the vulnerabilty used this cluster AoE, much like Leap of Faith used to apply its Blindness before the Blind Exposure nerf which actually was a Leap of Faith nerf. 88.152.26.50 01:19, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

In that case, the old mechanics were obviously bugged - this skill was never meant to produce a cluster effect. —Dr Ishmael 02:20, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
