I trained in Aqua for over 30 levels, where 140 speed makes jump Strafing incredibly inefficient, and I also make use of jump shot all the time (in non-Aqua situations). You can't control how far you jump.It's certainly a fair argument that Speed can make Aqua a little harder. While I was raising my Thrust, I tried not to put myself in situations where I would have to swim up to attack. I'd try to find a floor or something.
But I completely disagree with that second part. Your speed and jump determine how far you jump, and if you know exactly how far you'll jump each time (which you should if you're used to your current speed/jump), then it's fairly easy to space yourself so that you don't land on top of the monster you're jump-Strafing. I too make use of jump-Strafing wherever possible at Skelegons. I use it to finish off monsters, I use it to cross gaps, and I use it while jumping down. It's a great compliment to Hurricane, which has a few annoying limits. And the mount argument is worthless. You're going to tell me that you're on your mount every second you're not shooting? Because I don't believe you if you say you are.
