nyerk the idiot QQ'ers in the thread.. that 10% movement buff isn't gamebreaking while casually grinding.. this isn't a DPS science or anything.. we don't need to MIN/MAX all of the time.

I kite like you, jumpshot when kiting, normally shoot when I have time and am far enough away to where I won't lose my distance advantage.. Looking forward to AP grinding fort guards :P

Sure, I don't always jump shoot, but I always try to maximize the forward buff, and I always jump shoot with Devotion to maximize the amount of skills that fire during its duration.

*Disclaimer: not the case with Fortress Guards as they are 5 star mobs with improved HP, where auto shots may be beneficial. But I think you catch my drift. And auto shots are still useful no matter what, as you don't want to wait on cooldowns, but they are not as necessary as they are in the level 30-45 range.
If you are using your skills as they become ready there is NO way you are not missing them because running in the opposite direction will cancel autoshot and if you jumpshot your next shot it will still be off.
Only way would be to press your autoattack every time you use any skill and time it so it will go off simultanously but hoenstly - that is way too much hassle for me to put up with while farming for hours, I am in brainafk mode then, watching tv, chatting, whatever.
Iam not 50 myself and obviously against enemies you are 3 shotting you wont need your autoattack,though at 42 I dont do that so often and if I did I wouldnt really have to move at all anyway.

Take for instance my dilemna, I am a 27 Ranger about to go 28, when I launch Devotion I only get 5 seconds to launch as much destructive sh*t at my opponent as I can, without JS you can MAYBE launch 2 skills. Currently as I am jumpshotting I can launch 4. Also if you were jumpshotting I am THOROUGHLY confident NONE of the PVE mobs would have EVER touched you.
By the way with devotion on you will get the SAME number of skills in there wether you jumpshot or not. 2 skills without JS? Are you kidding me.
Jumpshotting actually does not let you use your skills faster it just clips the animation so you can move while using them. Ever tried using your second chain skill directly after your first one went off and you land on the ground?

I also wanna display the use of snare trap in this video, as the majority of players don't use it and think it's useless. It works like magic in pvp as well but not in this vid due to the players flying away. A poison arrow then snare>aerial will maximize your dps while immobilizing them, making 1v1 just about impossible to lose when you know how to play.
This isn't that impressive of a video as it is random frapsing of 20minutes of uncut gameplay, not a collection of amazingness put together.

Not embedding cause size would be too small.

Part 1
YouTube - Abyss Ranger 1/2
Part 2
YouTube - Abyss Ranger 2/2
I enjoyed your vids. There are a bunch of flaming trolls out there, but none worth the time so I normally just ignore them. I don't jump shot much either, jus seems like extra work for a minimal gain. After jump shooting there is a delay where you cannot use the next skill, so all it really does is allow you to keep moving I guess. I love snare trap. I use it when entangling shot doesn't work, or when fighting more than 1 person/mob. Anyways, keep the vids coming XD

Haha, thx, I make these videos for people like you. You're right, minimal gain, that is until we reach end-game.

Yeah, the next snare trap might have added a bit of immobilization time too, I'm not sure about this but I think so, used snare trap I a long time ago.
Up to 5 free hits while your skills are on cooldown and they're not able to do anything, and up to 7 hits with arrow flurry. 6-7 in Mau form, it really is a good skill to have especially against casters; stun is a disable, silence is a disable, knockback is a disable, and this is another disable. By the time they land, your CD is back and they're down in HP.

The idea about doing that is that (pressing attack before using ability) is that you get it automated you dont realy need to think about it you just do it - in later pvp you will have more to things to think about then just whatever or not you get the autoattacks in.

Say ever tried jumping again after jumpshot ? what takes more time your stunning shot animation or jump one ? coz you cna use ability _Every_ jump_ . However i agree on one thign ehre - JS is not meant to get more abilities in one devotion is for movement purposes (why ? coz at better gear you get attack speed and with it animations will take less time then jump

I'm not a big fan of your play style, but thank you for making the videos anyway. There isn't enough Aion footage, and you taking the time to upload footage of yourself playing is appreciated (by myself anyway.) Don't let the jerks discourage you.

I find that jump shot is not really useful in pve, it's fun to use but not necessary unless you're killing 5+ lvls above you. It's actually really annoying when using jump shot and have to wait for the timer. However, jump shot is a much for kiting melees in pvp. This is my thoughts on jump shot so far. Using jump shot or not, ranger is extremely fun to use.

I'm actually having more difficulties not to jump shot

When I deliberately try not to do it, I still do it because my fingers are so used it.

haha I know right, I made a quick vid where I do JS sometimes, omgomg everyone can call me pro now!!111one

and although it happens to kill faster a couple times, it's either due to crit or the damage range on the stunning/rupture shots. Overall DPS will still be lower since there's still some CD.
