I was hopping for a gnome punt to be put in the game but this will have to do

The ability icon looks like the Goblin had too much salsa yesterday.

Commento di Slammpig

New Hunter PVP Strat: Disengage+Rocket Jump= 150 (or moar!) yards of awesomsauce-kiting!

Commento di Malediction

Wearing the Gunboats while performing this ability will reduce self-damage by 60%; however, you lose your off-hand slot because of it.

Commento di Roach6

what I was wondering about this rocket jump...

if you fall off a cliff or something high enough you would take damage and you use this ability shortly before you hit the ground, would this avoid the fall damage?

could anyone on beta check this? :X

Commento di 671830

75 yards, read the spell effect

Not 75 yard, the measurement in knock back or jump in the effect box is different. Base on Thunderstorm effect, 20 yards=value 60, so the racial in theory should provide 25 yard forward jump. ONLY APPLY IN FLAT TERRAN.

The distance will be varied base on you jumping uphill or downhill, using the uphill probably just waste one GCD of yours, not to mention the CD, but downhill is will extent the distance

Also based on observation of some beta video (totalbiscuit's Goblin leveling), this racial can also prevent fall damage if activate before impact.

Commento di Ufologist

Puts a 15 second cooldown on Priest's Levitate. :( Should've tested it before going cliff diving...

Commento di 54609

Shares cooldown with Skyguard's Drape :(

Commento di Bladecatcher

Tested this multiple times on my Goblin Shaman, rocket boots or rocket barrage, either, do NOT make you drop the flag, rocket barrage does not trigger a global cooldown either.

Commento di 501448

Should be handy when crossing the river in Twin Peaks.

Commento di Slohth

On my Goblin mage, I created a macro that I call "SuperBlink". This macro will cast Blink, but if you hit the button a second time within 15 seconds (the cooldown of Blink), it will cast Rocket Jump instead. Great for when you need some serious distance quickly.

/castsequence reset=15 Blink, Rocket Jump

Commento di UndeadWarlock

Cannot use Rocket Jump and Slowfall at the same time. :(

Commento di Spectre9

Probably my favorite part of being a goblin. Very useful ability. Great against knock backs and, until flying is learned, can help getting across gaps very well. Affected by lag so timing is necessary sometimes, speaking of which; used correctly can save you from falling to your death.

Commento di Zagga

Incredibly useful ability! I didn't think it would be that useful at first but I find I use it all the time (lvl 46 goblin mage).

Best way to use it:
- jump before hitting it, learn to hit it so the Rocket jump starts at the highest point of your jump.
- Don't use it if there is an upward hill before you
- Using it from a downward hill/stairs will make you go much much further, but be careful of fall damage.

Some of the uses:
- Before 20: Move just a little bit quicker
- Before 60 (flying mount): Cross gaps easier, other then blink this ability will not stop before a gap.
- Negate fall damage
- Extra GTFO button when blink is on cooldown (for me)

And combinations of course, like:
- jump from the flight master/zeppeling terrain in org quite far into the valley of strength
- Steep hill with some rocks at the bottom and then water where you want to go? (*cough* 1000 needles), no problemo
- Reach the crossroads by jumping of the orgrimmar-thunderbluff seppeling in style
- Jump to Thaddius' platform! (Haven't used it for that of course, but I fell down there quite often:( )

Commento di Barhah

I am saddened to hear this doesn't work with slow fall (Nitro boosts + parachute took my engineer all the way across Orgrimmar, when used from up top) However, I can still get pretty good distance with this on my mage, and I use this combo all over the place: jump off with a mount, use rocket boots at the apex, blink just before smashing into the ground. Blinking up hills and rocket jumping off was a nice time-saver, too bad you only have four levels of travelblink before you get your mount now...

Commento di dupeto

Is that racial available in arenas ?

Commento di Zach34

This spell is the reason you should be a goblin. It's extremely useful in both PVP and PVE (Tank go out of range? Rocket jump and catch up with him!).

Commento di 760473

Very handy racial but it's a shame that it doesn't work with slow fall and parachute cloak (after using rocket jump, the slowfall and parachute cloak abilities are grayed out and cannot be used). The fact that it also shares a cooldown with Rocket Barrage is another shame, as it makes Rocket Barrage feel quite useless in comparison to the utility of rocket jump; why waste the CD on barrage when you can do something infinitely more useful with jump.

Rocket jump can be used in arenas and any other PVP environment. The effect is very much like a hunter's disengage, but reversed (propels you forward instead of backward). The range of the jump is variable; you do not stop until you have landed on ground. For example, if you rocket jump down a hill, you will continue moving down the entirety of the hill until you have landed. Alternatively, if you rocket jump up toward a hill, you will prematurely land and thus move less of a distance.

You can see there are some obvious balance issues with Rocket Jump on Battleground maps like Twin Peaks. A goblin flag carrier can rocket jump toward the Horde base and cover much, much more distance because the map is slanted downhill toward the Horde base.

Commento di Deathbang

This ability is incredibly useful for Death Knights, as DKs have no way of closing ground between them and their opponent (excluding Death Grip, which as a taunt is not so useful in PvE if you aren't tanking). However, this ability allows rapid movement towards the enemy, and if your opponent is on lower ground than you it's possible to travel even farther! The downside: it doesn't work so well uphill.

Tip: Jump before using this ability and click the button mid air to travel farther.

Commento di 707500

I tested it today, the distance was about 16 yards, just further a little bit than the Mass dispell radius.

jump(space key)+Rocket jump

was even further than that, about 17 yards

Commento di 123592

Does this break stealth?

Commento di 795805

what if you cast slowfall before you use the rocket jump?

Commento di ocelot113

I thought you'd be able to jump off cliffs and be able to use at the bottom (like blink), which you can but it's damn risky because of the second or so delay on the use. Most of the time you either go crashing into the ground boots ablaze and all or you just burst while still too high and fall to your death. Anyone know when/if Blizz plans on fixing the timing issue? I think the cd is a bit long for just in essence a blink. CD should be cut in half (1 min) imo.

Commento di TheHandOfSeth

This is probably the most versatile racial you will find. Each class has their own reason why this ability is incredible, but I will add just the shaman ones (and some useful for all classes), that being my chosen specialty:

Can be used while in Ghost Wolf without breaking the form (although the rocket animation fails to happen, so it merely looks like a very powerful jump)
Can be used in conjunction with Spiritwalker's Grace and a swiftness buff to make a speedy escape from melee, followed by a withering mobile barrage of spells or mobile healing.
Can be used as an improvised 'charge' as enhancement, but beware overshooting your target
Can be used to bridge significant gaps, especially if used while mounted.
Can be used to reduce your fall distance (AKA save you from fall damage), extremely useful when flying mounts are unavailable.
Can be used as a counter to knockback effects. As far as I know, Blink is the only other ability that allows this.

I encourage any other Rocket Jump fans to add their own uses in reply!

P.S. I encourage always jumping before using this, as it increases your distance significantly.

Commento di Filipse

This racial is extremely usefull in many cases...

[In Arathi basin you can jump dirrectly into the river beneath the Blacksmith from the lumbermill if used well enough
[Melee classes can benefit from this as an additonal charge rogues/ench shamans/warriors
Allows you to cross gaps normaly not possible (one example being skipping half of Ragefire Chasm)
If timed or if you're a rogue you can jump abnormal distances without taking overly heavy-damage
[Gives a nice speedboost downhillwards
If used properly gives hunter/mage/lock an additional oppertunity to kite their foes

Commento di Squarekiddo

It seems as if you use this in PVP you cant get CC while your in the air.
Very good vs rogues tbh

Commento di 713465

Does this cause you to drop the flag in warsong?

Commento di 120907

This ability simply got my poor mage killed too many times, so much so, it lost it's use to me. On paper it seemed great, but in truth, mixed with a mage, it's a double edged sword. On 1 side, if you're under attack, jumping and using this will get you about the same distance as blink, providing nothing is obstructing your path.

On the other, it can easily kill you, leaving you baffled. Because of the ability's nature, slow fall, levitate, parachute and other abilities like those are cancelled/negated when this is used. Using this as a last ditch effort to shoot yourself off a cliff to avoid that gank will be your death unless your ice block is up. Me in Ragnaros trying to trigger the trap in time unwittingly killed me as I couldn't slow fall to save myself.

I suppose it really comes down to if you remember the down plays on the ability. Steer clear of heights, or anything that'll throw you up in the sky. Great ability for horde, but can be a double edged sword.

Commento di DraconisAerius

Shadow Priests can use this while in Dispersion form. Just tested it myself.

Commento di Toroq

As of patch 4.3 this ability is now locking out my heroic leap ability in addition to slow fall effects.
Not sure if this is intended or not, but there's no mention of it in the patch notes.

There's always the possibility that this was changed because heroic leap can be used as a "safe fall" if timed correctly.

Commento di 920857

if anyone is interested to know it is usable underwater, although it only works half as well

Commento di QuickBASIC

Are you tired of dying a painful falling death because you used Rocket Jump at the wrong moment? Well, Gnomish engineers rejoice! You can save yourself from that "Oh $%^&!" Rocket Jump off the cliff with Gnomish Gravity Well™. When your Cloak, Levitate, and Slow Fall are on cooldown, use Gnomish Gravity Well™.

Commento di QuickBASIC

Just noticed if you use it on the top of the water, you'll actually "skip" across the top of the water 1 or 2 times like a flat rock or coin on a lake.

Commento di kgurnhill

Shares a cooldown with Rocket Barrage!

Commento di 841353

Small tip: If you are running old instances you can often skip unavoidable adds by jumping and rocket boosting through the gap. Works well for me

Commento di guatafu

Do not use this while rooted (entangling roots, improved hamstring, frost nova). It does not break roots and you will waste the cooldown.
