Learning from Other Classes

I started up a hunter last night. I'll reveal him to you via screenie once he gets his pet. Looked up a bunch of stuff from BRK's site as well as Pike's. In particular, I made great use of their jump shot tutorials. Got all the way up to 7 for now.

After a bit, I logged back onto Bashertin, and noticed a peculiar thing. The Jump Shot works for mages as well! Go check out BRK's and Pike's videos, and replace the words Arcane Shot, Concussive Shot, and/or Serpent Sting with Fire Blast and/or Ice Lance, and presto! You just learned the "Jump Blast," or "Jump Lance" technique!

Taking today off to work on my fanfiction. Ever since I started blogging, I've totally neglected my current story. As amateurish as I am with my writing, I do have a bunch of people who do subscribe to that particular story, and have started rioting over a lack of updates. So yeah, see ya on Wednesday!

Explain the significance of the jump shot.

BRK's blogging and movies have often made me enthousiastic about the hunter class. But every time I log onto mine I find it boring (It's not the pet thing as I loved levelling my warlock). But I hope you have fun with him and find him more exciting then I find mine.

And the note on fire kiting is actually quite intruiging. I hope I can remember it for the next time I log onto my mage (if I ever do that :P)

@ evil: well, it's not really fire kiting. you're predominantly using frost spells to slow and snare. fire blast is just used while you're in motion to increase your damage output.

@andrew: the jump shot allows for the use of instant-cast shots while you are running away from a mob. it works pretty much the same way as casting while strafing, but space limitations might require you to turn and run. a jump shot rotation of arcane shots, serpent stings, and concussive shots will keep the opponent at bay, and allows the hunter to kite the mob that he's attacking. what i meant to say in my post is that the mage can do the same thing with fire blast while he does his own frost-based kiting.

@ A Small Evil - Wait until you get to level 62!
