Is it useful at all? I hear some guy said that he "needs" it for pypq.

Well, it can be handy when your training on a flat surface/map (like STDs) And for how this guy "needs" it for the Pyramid PQ, well...whatever floats his boat, lol. I just spammed PKB during that pq

Its pretty useful, yes. As stated above, very handy for flat surfaces.

It's useful but not needed. I jump shot quite often, but fail half the time.

My Ranger is level 110, and I still think jumpshooting is useful, but keep in mind that I use joy2key & I'm successful at jumpshooting 99% of the time. I think the real question is how useful ?

it IS extremely helpful for travelling and hopping over monsters and training at elnath (without ss) but its fun to do it, since 90% of the bowmen population cant do it 99% the time it makes you look cool?

it was really useful back then when i was 50~70. coolie zombie being the only training place, jump shot allowed you ks as well as sins.

When you're leeching at gallos, jump-shoot in a corner. Extra exp + hardly any damage, but sore fingers/forearm. Plus, running in one direction and jump-shooting in the other direction is always awesome.

I've never used it at all during training. Mainly cause I PQ'd all the way up to lvl 85 then Typhons/Newts. I just use it if theres a random monster in my way. (pigs, slimes, anything I can 1 hit ko)

BMs probably don't need to jumpshoot since they can walk with hurricane, but for marksmen, jump shooting can increase your mobbing efficiency which is why I do it when it seems appropriate. This marksman can jump shoot pretty well.
