Guild Wars 2

Used to press double ESC to deselect then JUmp shot cancel to run away but its so inconvenience in the heat of battle. Any idea?

click to the any empty space on the ground?

Why do you have to deselect your target? Jump shot uses ground targeting anyway.

If you’re trying to get rid of the annoying delay at the end of jump shot that makes it painfully slow as an escape:

1. Use jump shot
2. Switch to a kit in mid-air
3. Use weapon swap/drop bundle key in mid-air

The jump shot should go the full distance but cancel the half-second of “hey everyone! kill me!” hangtime.

I’m giving an answer of a different sort.
Go options, tick the box that says “use fast ground targeting” or something like that.
Now your jump shots/grenades/elixers will land where your mouse is pointed!
This saves a lot of time and in my view if you wish to be the best you can at this game you need to do it with Fast ground targeting enabled.

Thx for the reply, I’m already using fast ground targeting, but strangely while I’m in wvw clicking on the empty space to cancel my target?sometime it won’t deselect it and then jump shot send me back to Zerg ????????????, pvp seems to work fine tho. Anyway, thx for the advice!!!

Oh, also I might be doing the jump shot cancel in wrong order… But It works?
I usually switch to med kit, press F5, quickly drop kit then jump shot for canceling.
I should try Nevir’s version a try and see if I can still cancel it! Thx guys

I doesn’t matter who you have targetted, just double swap in mid-air and you’ll cancel the landing animation. At least that seems to be what you’re going for?

well, I say for a strange reason…if you cancel the jump shot with the med kit first then have a target selected. Jump shot will not follow ground targeting rule but rather AUTO AIM travel to your target position!!! I’ve done a similar stupid death in wvw b4.
Try it yourself, maybe this glitch might open up a new combo idea…who knows?
