jumping has no effect it does not take you out of damage, eso works on magic bullet, as long as some one is in ur cross hairs the attack will go for them, only way to avoid them is to dodge roll

Yes it does - it makes you more difficult to target, especially up close with melee attacks. That's why people do it. So there should be a cost for doing it.

Unlike previous TES games (and I made a similar post a few days ago which appears to have been deleted) where the acrobatics skill could be used to manipulate height, direction, and distance of your jump, and even allowed mid-air manoeuvring and airtime manipulation, thus a fully usable combat mechanism for mitigation and avoidance, no such combat mechanic exists in ESO. Your hit box is massive and as long as the crosshairs are on a you at the time a skill is triggered (unless you're talking about light attacks, people can side step around melee light attacks, should steps cost stamina?), it will impact. Unless ZOS build in a new enhanced mechanic around jumping with dedicated CP stars as per dodge/block/bash for cost reduction, and enhancements to unlock movement and manipulate height and distance so that it can actually be used as a means for mitigation, it doesn't require a cost.
