Jumping Forward Bug

[Luth]

Hm, looks like there were the same problems on the original server (at least at the beginning):

One last technical question: On the videos your shammy is jumping a lot – Now for moving backward, jumping is a requirement to match the speed of running – but for side-kiting, does it break LoS or something?

In terms of side-kiting: I jumped around on my Shaman while kiting out of habit. It prevented me from getting snagged on rocks and stuff on the ground, and it looked funny. And, very importantly, it kept opponents in LoS of me, so I could use instant-cast attack abilities on the move.

However, there was some discussion about jumping while kiting, and apparently it induces lag on your opponent:

I didn’t believe that at first, but while playing my SM, I watched RDPS and healers who were jumping while kiting closely, and I think it does create some sort of lag effect.

That doesn’t seem fair, so I’m trying not to do it anymore on my Shaman. I want to beat opponents because of good movement and timing of skills, not because I’m lagging them LOL. Jumping while moving is ingrained as a habit, even on my SM when I am not Holding the Line. So it’s taking some time to break.

Unfortunately the warhammer alliance forum is down and in the "wayback machine" the links to the threads don't seem to work.

that's a bug from 2009 i hardly belive there still was in 1.4.8 build as i never have los when snaring a jumping target maybe other can confirm? Bw 2 ppl just testing this would see faster

It was still in the client same as the stretch armstrong mdps hitting from 50ft. The client has all sorts of issues with lag like all the rubberbanding and was hardly touched since launch. In the end you had to come to terms with the fact where you see people on screen isnt really where they are.
