Aion - Jumpshot Kiting Guide

If you haven't seen it yet, watch it

ahh its rather easy tho its ment for solo-ing and pretty useless in groups.

Haha, but very helpful with a current level 16 ranger. ^_^;;

So not useless in groups. You get more shots off faster. >_<

not really. in groups you just spam fires and cooldowns for ranger is so slow that you dont have enough skills to cast lol

Shots also don't go out faster since your shooting animation is replaced by the longer jumping animation and since you're not kiting anything in groups (typically), you'd just be jumping in place and getting the shots out slower. XD Jump shot benefits you when you're trying to maintain forward momentum. Thus, it's very useful in kiting mobs that don't CC and players that pot out of or resist entangling shot. However versus mobs that do CC and players that don't pot, entangling shot slows them down so significantly that you can stand and shoot an entire cycle pretty much since jump shooting takes you too far out of range given the mob/player's slow speed and forces you to run back towards the mob/player after the jump to get the shot out. Unless that is you're forced to circle around the mob due to the tight space, in which case jump shot would be useful even if the mob/player is slowed. Though if you're running in circles, that makes it easier for you to fall within the player's skill range, so I prefer kiting forward if possible.

Here's an example of jump shot applied in PVP against a player that isn't slowed by entangling shot:

And yes... I'm horribly envious of how much better jump shot looks on an asmo. T_T

watching that video was retarded. they melee just followed exactly in his footsteps when chasing, they will never catch that ranger.

I think within that close proximity, both the glad and temp are cutting corners in order to aproximate the ranger. XD The ranger's not simply going in circles around the outer perimeter of the arena and thus cutting him off on a wider scale becomes incredibly difficult since his movements are rather unpredictable in terms of potential direction and sudden turns (from using a jump shot). It's a successful kiting! In a different video from the same tournament, the ranger uses a trap as a safe haven. ^^ The melee attempts to avoid the radius of the trap and thus has an obstacle, which the ranger uses as a brilliant distancing method.

I want to duel that ranger ^^;

I want to be as good as that ranger. ;_;

You will be soon Just gotta keep pvping. Watching that video makes me want to level my ranger... sorta... no nevermind - I dont want to level another character.

Yea, hopefully! I need more practice. ^^;;;

Haha, but the templar pwned the ranger... and the sin that followed. And the following templar from the other side pwned another sin in 3 seconds. XD If anything, it'd be motivation to gear up your main! XD

I dunno, I just watched the video again, it doesn't look like they are cutting corners at all, looks like they are just button mashing skills to auto run to them.

I guess since I've never seriously played a melee in any game and thus haven't done much research on the matter, I don't know the specifics of melee tactics? ^^;

I'll have to duel someone and record it for you
