Do any of my fellow Buccs do jump-DStrikes?

So LITERALLY for the past 15 minutes I have been spamming jump-DStrike in order to see if I can train using it.
I find that the 1/10 times that it does land properly, it definitely helps my mobility because the jump will move me forward while casting.
Is this a thing that people normally do when training (and that I just need to learn how to control with) or do you stand still when you DStrike?

Example:

Yea. All warriors do this or at least ive seen heroes: rush + intrepid slash jumping forward.
It's always faster when in flat maps but in the map you train in standing still is ok ,especially since what i saw when u were at my channel( yea u found my marauder one time and you were ksing me =O) DS can hit a short range of monsters behind you. But it was really nice to see DS. It's range is much better than i thought.

I've gotten my jump-DS to work 100% of the time now, or close to it. I had it as Shift for DS and Alt for jump, but I moved DS to "z", so I can just press both keys with one finger.
I'm also thinking that it's best to normal-DS when mobbing, until the last hit on the mob when you can do a jump-DS to regain mobility.

Yea, I gotta say I don't get the timing right 100% of the time xD
What keys do you guys have set to DS and Jump? I have Shift as DS and C as Jump

[quote=Jslep19]@capslocker7 - I disagree- I jump when I ds, and I find that it does help cover the map quicker. I also 2-hit with DS on whatever I train on, it's better IMO.[/quote]

Oh I know it does help mobility across a map,
I just personally don't do it.
Since Im not that great at doing it.

I usually just do the normal DS,
I never really feel pressed for time or mobility to do the jumping one

I usually kill what ever I'm training on in 2 DS hits anyway.
Though it is still fun to do out of bordem

Yea, I do the same thing as FangKingRei~
I usually do the jump DS, cork, jump DS pattern and killing is faster + I move across the map

@above
Yes, it does, but considering the fact that the monster won't spwan right after you kill them and you would have to move to the next mob, jump DS is better IMO

For me, its kinda hard to Jump and DS. Also, doesnt normal DS spamming have a higher DPM?
