Jump Fix

I know you're trolling, but you failed to understand why this is being posted in the pvp forums so i shall break it down for you:

Maybe you dont get it, or its your first MMO, but some classes, BRDs and Caster need to jump if they kiting, to do some skills while running, they cant simply start backpaddeling to hit one behind them.

As an archer i can backpedal or run-n-gun without the need for jumps because there are no land/geo obstacles for me in pvp and as a caster i really don't need to jump except for the aforementioned.

Not every player which jumps, jumps to exploit ur attacks, its normal for guys which kiting and want to do some instants behind them.

Having played the mmos and pvp based games for over a decade and a half now (UO, EQ, 30+ k games, arcades in game basements, corner stores, and massive arcade arenas like Playland in NYC--ffs what's with all this credential bait?) and understanding the jump situation it's become apparent that you may be new or very fond of jumping hence the ludicrous claims made.

You can blame Healer, Tanks, Melees, caster and Brds which run away with their back to you if they jump,cause they dont have any reason to do that and they are exploiting.

There are enough threads about jumping in pvp, just write down your experiance and how gamebreaking it is to melees and SE will care! Troll threads doesnt help anybody.

As discussed in other threads: the moment someone has their back to me, i spam Impulse Drive so i prefer them to have their backs towards me; I LOVE kiters. Ranged dps/Healers aren't a problem at all it's jumping that's the problem.

btw please right click those words with squiggly red lines under them before submitting a post. It's pretty cool.

What the hell are you talking about? You've clearly never even tried kiting as a ranged class in this game. FFXIV practically forces you to jump while kiting because using an ability automatically faces you towards your target. If you're running north and your target is south of you when you cast Scathe you will start running towards him unless you jump before you cast.

The fact that you've been playing games for 15+ years and are unable to grasp this simple concept is mind boggling.

Edit - You're right, I was wrong. I had tried it out a while ago but for some reason I had thought it didn't work. Sorry for being such a dick before. I was in a bad mood after visiting relatives LOL.

There's an option to turn facing off and i cast both on whm and gld and it makes me shake my head knowing people still haven't figured this stuff out.
