Elimod Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Ever since the Parkour 2.0 patch the Vaubans Bounce ability has become total useless, we can jump higher into the air with just two button presses using Bullet Jump than the ability Vauban have, the Bounce ability makes you fly only two thirds as high as the Bullet Jump. is it just me, or would anyone else want to see the Bounce ability replaced with something Actually useful?

FigsAndMice Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Agreed. Hopefully we see a new ability ala Super Jump Edited August 6, 2015 by FigsAndMice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcl_Blue Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Nova's Wormhole doesn't look useful anymore to me, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaotea Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Ive never used it as a travel utility, but as a weapon useful for throwing tough enemies into pits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaotea Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Nova's Wormhole doesn't look useful anymore to me, either. It was always a quick travel. Sure you can multi jump to high places now, but slap on the range mods and you can cover large zones in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now used a trap which repels some melee unit lol. But we have Vortex for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)my_soldier Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 NO REPLACE FOR BOOBEN BEST SKILL -snip- repelling bastille does this job way better anyway. Bastille is a bounty hunter frame so maybe just let them be big bear traps and capture and immobilize an enemy for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastikator2 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 ... now? It's been exclusively a troll ability for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neofaucheur Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Bounce always looked useless to me... since the addition of directional air melee it was already useless as a mobility ability and even if it can indeed be used to cc enemies there is far better skill to do that. At least it's fun ^^ and prone to troll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Lorewalker1022 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Bounce is not useless imo. If you haven't tried this, then I would suggest you give it a try. It's great and entertaining as heck.Note: This is perhaps better done playing solo as you might annoy some of your teammates.Anyways on ANY infestation defense missions instead of dropping just vortex or bastille, drop bounce pads all around the pod. It's absolutely affective against the infested and it's also pure entertainment as they all just go flying. You'll get a kick out of it I'm sure.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gysahl Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Bullet jump from a bounce pad and you have super bullet jump, while it doesn't have much of a use, its still fun =P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastille is a bounty hunter frame so maybe just let them be big bear traps and capture and immobilize an enemy for a while? Kinda off topic but... Vauban* is an engineer* frame. Like military engineer Vauban from history. Sorry... I can't help it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryme Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Bounce is useless. Enemies don't take falling damage, so I can't even use it to punt them off a ledge. Heck, it doesn't even delay them, because they either "super jump" or are instantly teleported back on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkano Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Actually some kind of turrent to replace the skill would be great since Booben is Engineer themed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wotca Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Bounce on teammates is mandatory end-of-raid etiquette. If I'm not bouncing after Vay Hek is defeated the Booben isn't doing his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clows-Hydee Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's still great for trolling, so either keep the ability or give us another one that's equally as good or better for trolling than Bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcommando1107 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Bounce is arguably Booben's best power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Eluminary Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's been worthless ever since they put in direction melee. Really just a fun novelty I do it at the end of a raid to bounce people around. I did see a guy actually using it in the raid putting dozens up around panic buttons which was actually effective. And funny to see grineer flying around. At one point one flew into the air landed on Frost bubble and frozen midair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizeol Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Mobility skills got better with P2.0, IMO. Now with Zephyr, Excal, Rhino, Valkyr, Booben and such you can get a third "jump" or a boost in a direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insizer Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 But... skeet shooting. In all honesty, I just wish for one addition to bounce. That is when you throw it, and the grenade physically impacts/"lands on" an enemy, that: a) the enemy is then sent flying back like they were hit by a homerun bat in SSB b) and that the now floating bounce grenade is now facing outwards. This way you could now make a hilarious and reliable cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnbeBleeder Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Someone suggested putting a tesla together with bounce, opening up a skill slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalMagic Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Place bounce pads in choke points, watch enemies fail to get to where they want to go. Useful in Intercept and Defense.Vauben in Intercept is basically instant win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRCGamer Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Nova's Wormhole doesn't look useful anymore to me, either. Still insanely useful for speed running Spy missions in the vaults. Allows you to bypass energy gates, laser fields, guard patrols... all sorts of things. That ability and a Huras = incredible speed run potential.
