Phaeton.9582 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 ## Profession Skills ### Engineer * Jump Shot: Fixed a bug that caused this skill to do inconsistent damage based on height difference. As a coder, quite interested to know the backstory behind this fix as it seems like a bug that might of started life as a feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quench.7091 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if they fooled around with the idea. They did once have some traits that turned falling down into an attack. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Explosive_Descent https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Death_from_Above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this was the result of Asuran activists! or perhaps Norn activists.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 They should have applied this bug to the blowtorch. At least then it would do damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perihen the Thawk.9527 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I miss Death from Above. It was such a silly immersive trait, I would just roam all over Timberline Falls on my Norn warrior jumping from cliffs into packs of Grawl and *boom* laughing maniacally as they flew everywhere.

I liked it in wvw, jumping from the gate into the ram-building Zerg :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion.9617 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Death from Above was especially strong there because it was the only "skill" without a target limit, essentially sending the full zerg flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
