    Sometimes I hop to try and get better LOS on other healers hiding behind the front lines, also when I'm throwing spears it feels like they go farther lol.

    You used to also be able to ani-cancel dark flare especially well for some reason while jumping(you could even cast it after you finished a dodge roll)

    I jump just bcs of my tumb is pressing space button automatically. I cant control it when im focused on something. It gives me that tiny bit relaxation. And I believe bouncing creates annoy for the enemy player, which is good.

    Also jumping after dodge rolling is the best escape in game. ;)

    I do it alot, different ressons:

    1. Jumping to the rythm of the music (mostly I play with music on). This is the main reason I bounce around

    2. Jumping around when I see "friendly" enemies to show them mean no harm.

    3. To trigger/bait people to chase me (into a trap ofc :trollface:

    4. When I suicide in enemies to be able to respawn someplace else on the map.

    5. To gain forward momentum downhill.

    Prob forgot something. ^^

    After loading up skyrim SE I realized where my bouncing habit comes from - I'd hop to move when overencumbered.

    If you jump around versus an encase spammer, encase usually won't work on you.

    Edit: Jumping is usually a timing thing for attacks and GCD's.

    OK I just have to ask, is there really a benefit to hopping and bouncing on the battlefield? If so is there any data to back up the claims? I have killed just as many players hopping around as I have ones that are not bouncing all over the place.

    i hate the stupid bouncing and hoping jumping.
    there should be a stamina drain for every jump!

    You forget the history of ESO.
    Many skills use to operate at all elevations.
    So ZOS put an elevation limiter on many skills.
    Try gap closing up hill.

    The closer a player is to you when they jump.....the greater the elevation angle they create.
    I dont use such cheap tactics.

    Good luck unlearning something you've been doing since 1995/1996.
