The benefit from jumping is so small its basically non existance. Most of the best players never jump in ESO.

I almost never stop jumping, I'm wearing out my space bar

Maybe that is how you can't be killed.

@Cinnamon_Spider take note!

Well perhaps not for you nightblade ground dwellers....

For ranged casters, (especially sorcs) who don't rely on stealth it is actually pretty amazing.

As I said, try it for yourself to discover the benefits....they are many and while they're not major the benefits are significant.

Additionally, as stupid as this may sound jumping during idle moments ensures you're always acting (and it never interferes with an action you may want to take) and you will find that your reaction times are much faster if you're always in motion.....much as an RTS player continually does non-beneficial actions to keep his APM up or a martial artist bounces on the balls of his feet.

Most importantly of all, momentum carries in this game. If you jump before getting snared, you will continue at full speed until you land. Similarly, if you get charge rooted while in the air, you will continue moving forward causing the charger to arrive further away from you.

There are more benefits, but where's the fun in giving you all the secrets?

This might sound sad, but whenever I see players jumping around like this my brain says "AVOID" because that behavior almost guarantees they are better than me and will spank me in a fight 99% of the time. However, I have a tendency to ignore this visceral warning 100% of the time then proceed to get walloped.

So, yeah, I guess to anyone reading this: AVOID! (Unless you can't resist the urge, then good luck!)

Great video Dave!

I see a fellow hopper and I get confused, because some of them are actually good players, the others are just... hopping to be annoying and cocky.

>_> Those ones die in 2 seconds flat. But a good hopper is a deadly thing.

Just for entertainment and those interested. Please try to leave stupid comments out, but I don't mind constructive criticism though.

I finally got a chance to watch, pretty entertaining and some good fights in there.

Have you had a chance to try using Boundless Storm in lieu of Bound Aegis? It would lower your total magicka by about 4% or so but you'd get a free slot (I'd recommend daedric mines), much higher passive armor/SR (especially with Nirnhoned) and the movement speed, aoe damage, and cloaking of most of your character animations is pretty huge.

Also do you find that you rely more on using streak so much an interrupt you end up passing up opportunities to bash someone instead? I saw a couple of soul assaults in those clips I would have chosen to bash ( think they were CC immune at the time so streak wouldn't have worked).

That's about all that I could find as far as constructive criticism.

Damn, I always thought they'd all come for me because I jump... maybe they're just all like you...
