Something most people don't realize you can do in eso... block fall damage

Rolling is really hard to do at a last minute... sheesh I made this post thinking it was blocking fall damage... Whelp that is one way to learn a glitch I guess. That or report it and see what others can report on it so that we can make this game better for all. Still funny with the flying thingy.

you guys have almost figured it out but youre not quite 100% there yet.

A few people mentioned it, but only with the console controls, it's same concept for all platforms.

Yes there's also the bug/glitch/exploit whatever where if you roll dodge off an edge then hold back on the left thumbstick on Console your descent will be slowed and you won't take fall damage on landing, no matter how high you fall. My Guild Master called it a "Mary Poppins". We all thought it was neat and very convenient.

And in no way do I know how this can be used as an advantage in PvP, nor do I intend to find a way to use it as such. Which is why I don't believe this should be considered an urgently patched thing. In City of Ash 1 where you have to jump down from the right hand Boss I can finally not worry about taking huge damage or dying.

It can, and has been used to an advantage, mainly in BGs, where I can jump down and make getaways or get to sigils/flags quicker.

In OW its useful off tower/ledges and the bridge. Also used it once when I was being chased by like 10 players, looped up a cliff to stop them, and jumped and picked off whoever it was.

I thought everyone knew about this lol. This isn’t new, it’s been possible since day 1.

I didn't and honestly thought it was blocking fall damage.

Roll dodge has nothing to do with the bug.

I think some of the confusion about block, shields, etc., may be because for this bug to take effect, you must have your weapon drawn. Otherwise *splat*. So if you are going to experiment off of some pretty high overlook, make sure the serenity doesn't lull you into a false sense of confidence, and instead draw your weapon before you leap (and then hold "s")!

Yeah, you can sometimes recover in mid-air if you foul up the execution but chances are you'll still take damage if you haven't slowed your velocity enough. Or just completely paint the ground with your internal organs if you really mess it up.
