Suggestion Dragoon's Jump and SuperJump

[MultiHeartGold]

Okay, so as I am a Dragoon, I today got SuperJump. After playing around with it for a bit, I got a little idea that could be added to the two skills, Jump and SuperJump. Add a minor AoE damage to Jump and SuperJump. So, when you used Jump, you would cause people around the place you land into take damage (maybe 50 damage that passes armor for Jump, 75 or 100 for SuperJump). This would make people choose using Dragoon's signature moves for combat instead of escape. And as Dragoon commonly seems to have stamina problems, with this you could only choose using mobility or use your basic combat skills to cause more damage than the mobility. So basicly, Jump and SuperJump should cause damage to the area they land in, so they would be used for combat instead of escape.

Hmm thats a great idea!

I thought tremor was a Dragoons AOE skill? Given that it does 95 damage at level 60, giving people at level 10 (the level you get jump) an AOE skill that does 50 damage seems a little too OP.

Also, if this were the case, then jump/super jump would be used for both combat and escape, as the cooldowns are only 5 seconds/10 seconds.

Tremor is more like a knockback skill than damage skill imo. It could also be made as a passive skill where Jump and SuperJump do the damage, and add that to lv 55-60. The common use of Jump and SuperJump is why I thought about making the damage really small, so it isnt too powerful.

If I remember last map they had a passive that did AoE from fall damage be nice to see it back

They had charge last map where you could jump to an opponent and deal damage. Unfortunately, it was broken so I don't know how easy this would be to implement.

If dragoons had this, I would switch from pyro that I just played 500c to respect, just to go goon. Grew at idea.

In my opinion, this is a great idea, just a hard hard thing to implement.

This has been suggested many times over the years, sadly Kainzo has said each time that it is not possible. Something about tracking where the player lands.

Why not just an AoE damage of around 50 as soon as the player jumps? If it's too hard to code upon landing.

Interesting idea, but I don't think it should really be implemented. Dragoon is already a relatively strong class, and I do not think we need to give people any more reason to cry about them.

As far as I have seen, the only thing people really cry about Dragoon is the fact that most people go Dragoon just so they cant get engaged in PVP.

This is a great idea. It is not that big of a buff because 50 hp is not that much. It is cool because if you jump on someone then they acre going to get hurt.

If we had that AoE around 0.5 seconds after then it would be perfect.

 

[Kainzo]

We won't be adding any damage/special effect to Jump.

Superjump is possible to add damage - but its really not "easy" to do. If another dev wants to take a look at adding in AE to the area where you land - I'm fine with that. andrew2060

Any update on this?...

 

[w0nd3rb0y]

I don't think superjump should be buffed at all, if anything superjump needs to be nerfed. Needs warmup, and higher CD.

How bout when u use jump it ativates another skill with a 5-8 second charge time making it about when u land it does a little Ae damage

wasn't that second part exactly what he said?
