Magicka Sorcs, why do you jump all the time?

ItsNebula

Kinda curious, i love to see peoples different reasons..
Personally, i jump because its something i did often in Halo and WoW and it just kinda carried over, i jump on all my toons..

Whats your reason that you "Spam jump"?

Enslaved

They saw it on yt

Ragnork

Listening to House of Pain - Jump Around - whilst playing ????

Harder to hit (by all accounts) in PvP

Davor

That is how I leveled up in Morrowind and Obivion. I can' remember if that was a Daggerfall skill as well. So for almost 20 years, I am just use to jumping. I also do it when I play any character not just sorcerer. Old habit to break. Even Geralt jumps a lot. LMFAO.

SickleCider

Play too many games, get my buttons mixed up, jump like a spaz.

Savos_Saren

Supposedly, it gives a better hit radius where you can aim at your targets in 360 degrees vs 180 in front of you. Meaning- if an enemy is behind you- you'll be able to target them better mid air.

Then again- that might be complete ***.

AlienatedGoat

I jump around when I'm bored.

bunny hopping is life

no, not really

phairdon

Doesn't jump around on his magsorc.

Enkil

Jumping helps get LOS over obstacles like rocks.I sometimes have to jump to throw javelins on my Templar. Also, it’s just fun and hilarious to spaz out and /lol during fights in Cyro

It's to discharge all the electricity.

TheCaptainJosh

Makes it harder for dizzying swing spammers to land one on me

red_emu

Because the slightest bump on the ground the size of a mouse breaks line of sight so it's a valid tactic to keep LOS.

exactly. You might even land hits on an enemy who cant counterhit you because hes not jumping. Useful in varied terrain, and especially in terrain with rocks

Jhalin

To see people over the crowd of pets

DocFrost72

LOS as mentioned and to keep momentum when you're stunned to negate the "locked in one place" effect of being stunned.

Try heavy attacking while jumping. You go farther if done right.

You answered your own question. It's a stupid trend gamers pick up and can't let go of.

I've heard it makes you take no AoE damage if you're in the air. I tested this, but it's completely bs. You're still taking damage as long as you're in the the circle of pain.

Kadoin

Blame the terrain and all the bugs with it. I can't count how often I've fallen through walls or the ground. Don't get me started on being leaped at and falling through the terrain. I laugh, but its not funny when a massive fight breaks out and you can't get out because the game considers you in combat.

AcadianPaladin

My char is a Bosmer - that's why. Bosmer are short and have to jump to see over tall grass, to get over rocks and logs. Besides, my Bosmer is quite bubbly and bouncy so it just comes naturally.

Oh, and 'tactically', she does sometimes hop while running so she can quickly jump, spin to look behind her, face forward again before landing and not lose any forward speed. This comes in handy if being chased or just if checking on group mates behind.

Madhattr64

I do not jump.

ezio45

was told to me that it makes them harder to hit

SilverWF

Why anyone running always left-right, forward-back with no reason?
They seen it at some pro-youtuber viceo?

JamieAubrey

They think its Oblivion, trying to max that Acrobat skill

LioraValkyrie

Probably because it triggers so many people, and good PvPers know that people are easier to kill when they are triggered!

madchuska83

Because on Xbox 'A' is 'jump' and also 'interact'. So every time I try to loot something or enter a door I end up jumping.

Feric51

Because on Xbox, the “A” button is used for both jump and to interact with environmental features (doors, nodes, loot corpses, etc) and targeting is horrendous so all those “jumps” you see me doing in Traitor’s Vault are really just failed attempts to open a wardrobe.

Add a couple pets, npcs, or other LoS blockers and you’ve got yourself a regular pogo party!

Judas Helviaryn

I jump while casting to avoid certain slow-down mechanics at the beginning of the spell, as well as to keep momentum in my chosen direction so I can take my fingers off of the movement keys for a second to fire off an attack.

Bunny hopping is stupid as hell in games like Halo, but it's something you'll eventually gravitate towards competitively on here.

I also tend to run, dodge roll, jump, and streak into my opponent so they're always having to turn to keep up with me.

Blind spot blind spot blind spot dead.

mateosalvaje

I jump when I'm excited or bored. I also roll-dodge off my mount because it's fancy.

Ragged_Claw

Because my cat sleeps across my keyboard with her paws on the spacebar. The other one sits in front of the monitor. That's REAL Hard Mode for ya.
