Jump shot~
Just did a little testing, it turns out Rifled Barrels does increase the hangtime, Its a dirty dirty backstabbing trait. Go figure.
Ya you dont have hangtime as long as you dont trait. Its NOTHING like it used to be….god i remember beta your guy teleported to the area, then had time to scratch his kitten do some stupid animation…AND THEN…begin to land….AND THEN land.
sigh…how far we’ve come
Ha wow well that makes choosing traits easier :S
We already have backstabbing self cc skills we dont need to take it from our traits too! Though in this case selfstabbing would seem more appropiate

Jump Shot is scary. Honestly, it’s really depressing when I go for desperation leaps as finishing blows and then I’m killed during the landing animation before I can inflict any damage—I mean, during that [DIP-BLOOP-DOOP] whatever animation it is where you hang like a cradled baby in the blasted air for about half of a second before actually landing and inflicting damage.
I actually take that trait regularly too because it allows me to Overcharge Shot and then jump directly from where I land right on top of my enemy that I just knocked down.
Anet really needs to smooth out the final animations for that skill altogether and should just double the overall animation speed of Jump Shot when traited for longer range. Traits are buffs, not things that undermine your ability to do damage.
Still think it’s to slow when used to get from point A to B…. You really fly slow, but it gotten better, on the other hand, if you usein as a melee burst (where you stand), it actually quite fast and hit most of the time! So that’s what I do
Also, don’t take the longer range trait yeah… no good
WvW Roaming movies!
I think they sped up the jump shot slightly (noticed it after last patch), but forgot to do it for when Rifled Barrels is traited…

Jump shot : I use ground target to choose where I land ; I land in a different spot than what I had chosen ; I teleport back to where i had originally placed my ground target once I move.
…… O.o?

This happens to me ALOT as in >50% of the time.
Didn’t know that rifled barrels would do this tho =( i really liked the extra range
