GW2 Death From Above

Anyone try out this trait? Seems very situational but also super fun. Was just wondering if anyone played around with it at all? Might be fun in WvW. Can jump off a keep with 50% reduced fall damage, while damaging and knocking back enemies. I wonder if it scales up with how much fall damage you take?

Plus just the 50% reduced fall damage makes it so you can survive falls other people can't, or at least end up in better shape. You can work that into your strategy in WvW haha. Kite em off a cliff!

There's actually one of these for every profession except elementalist. Guardians create a symbol, engineers drop grenades, rangers cause muddy terrain, thieves use blinding powder, mesmers start a chaos storm (awesome), and necromancers leave a poison cloud.

Extremely situational, but diving off the fort in WvW definitely sounds like one of those situations. It might also be nice to substitute in when doing a jumping puzzle in PvE. I don't see these getting much serious use, but the engineer might benefit from using Rocket Jump to choose where to land and deliver the payload.
