Breakfall ? Really ?

xilfxlegion

why ?

and why make other parts of the tree depend on opening this ?

are that many people really taking fall damage ? in combat ?

Opening up more elevation changes as tactical options in (PvP) combat seems like a cool CP choice to me.

Take more chances jumping down a cliff instead of going around it, more interesting on a Bosmer.

The only thing that requires 10 points in this is Soul Reservoir. As locked passives go, I find that one a little underwhelming, personally.

Next node is ‘Pitfall’ which allows you to hop on crocodile heads

There are dungeons with mechanics that throw you up into the air, so it's not just jumping off of cliffs.

In PvP people will invariably follow you when you jump off things. Now you can cleave off 80% of their HP and turn around and Ultimate their faces while your health is sittin' pretty.

aipex8_ESO

I've got both that and movement speed maxed on my current fav char to play (note, not my crafter). I love being able to move fast and jump off high stuff.

Would be useful for bombers, you often hang around the top of keeps then jump down to bomb a group. Less health getting removed when you land could improve how often you escape from a bomb.

DMuehlhausen

You have to remember these CP changes are being done with Blackwood in mind not the current game. Which means if Breakfall is a thing in the CP system there will be fights where if you don't have it maxed you will probably die in the new chapter.

Lololol - I still use “the sweet, sweet Bosmer fall damage modifier” line in many tongue-in-cheek jokes.

It’s like literally every thing that has been made fun of in the past has made it’s way into this gong-show re-hash, as of late.

I've died enough times from ledges in Cyrodiil to need that star.

There's some "high ground" jokes in here I'm sure.

Personally I just need it because I excel at falling off ledges and going over cliffs without meaning too. Now I just need one that keeps me from eternally getting snagged on roots or stuck inside a rock cropping.

Along this line maybe we need a passive to lower Slaughterfish damage. I've fallen in the river of death many a time because my mount goes where my fingers tell it to go and not where my brain wants it to go.

Soulshine

Hey it can be useful!

I rolled a new Khajiit to make her a thieving, sneaky killer, with some pvp focus. She is leveling exclusively on Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and BGs. I took all the passives for speed, sneak, catpurse art, breakfall, fade away, and the awesome friends in low places : P

Running full speed off rooftops in Hew's Bane and crash landing into pots and guards has never been easier!!

Now... if they could just make a CP that granted extended invisibility I could forgo living in all the ridiculous Abah's Landing baskets during heists.

So one would respec points into Breakfall specifically for that dungeon

This is second thread since everyone has had the update specifically calling out a particular CP that they are just sure is wasted garbage, that nobody could, would or ever imagine wanting or needing (the other was the Wayshrine Cost Reduction)...

Just to get swamped with people posting exactly how and why they need, want or can justify using said skill.


Goes to show everybody plays this game in different ways and even though you personally (in general, not directed at OP) don't use or think something is useful...

There are plenty that do. And I'm glad ZOS keeps these things in mind when creating new content!

Cheers to all you clumsy (*&^%$ who love highdiving off mountains!

SickleCider

I'm personally waiting to have the CP to max this. I think it's going to open up some interesting drop attack opportunities and allow you to take shortcuts in some of the more complex dungeons. Plus yeah sometimes I just fall off stuff.

oddbasket

My Argonian Parkours-Over-Mountains has this maxed out on the first day.

vCR portals.

I agree In some update, they went overboard wit Slaughterfish damage, in Cyrodiil especially. Once I died in a second while trying to gather crafting resource just near the Lake Rumare... I didn't expect to be eaten just cause one of my feet touched the water

I do even out of combat, searching for shortcuts and falling from every cliff possible. Also was fighting some npcs once and dodge rolled from the cliff xd.

agegarton

I was hoping that with full points allocated I’d get a parachute made of the skins of argonians. Sadly, it was not to be.

Coatmagic

<are that many people really taking fall damage ?>

LOL xD Guess what? There is now!

In all seriousness:
* gold drops in chests got lowered
* my enchants are draining HELLA fast
* my gear is breaking like nobodies business...

So, YES, yes! You need dem passives now, cuz ZoS'd xD

Ratzkifal

The entire Green CP has some branching issues. The effects are all cool, but the structure needs a lot of work still. Kind of feels like this is still the beta of CP2.0

Why do I need to spend points in crafting or food and potions if I want to go fishing?

It's extreme in both ways, with the passive enchantments dont decay at all, no need to charge them anymore.

itscompton

This star is a big deal for playing in Cyrodiil. People are constantly dropping off cliffs, keep walls, stair wells, and between tower levels during fights.
And even a relatively short drop such as from a keep wall to the ground can take half your health bar if you don't have the passive. That's more damage than just about any ulti will do.
So as others have said if someone has the passive and you follow them off a drop when you don't have it you're going to be at a huge disadvantage when you land.

Yes, its nice in Cyrodil, note that here you might jump of the wall then injured.
Also nice for overland but here I guess the fall is often too long.
