Sorry for my noobness, but I can't seem to gain altitude with the warlock glide jump. Any pointers on how to use this skill properly?

4 RepliesOkay. So glide has mistakenly been declared the worst jump ability for the classes by 90% of users I see on the forums. And, while the other 10% and I were fine to keep its mysteries a secret before, I'd rather see players grow and the competition get more fierce. Glide, when used properly, can easily be considered the best class jump(outside subclass) for the following reasons: 1. Highest Jump (While at first it may seem low, with a stupid glide, the true height and speed comes from a quick double tap. This means tapping rapidly twice every time you want to leave the ground. Try it and see.) 2. Glide Cancel (I can't tell you how many posts I've seen where people hate on glide because they feel like a sitting duck just hanging in the air waiting to get picked off. I've also seen this happen to many in crucible. Just press X/A to cancel the glide and drop back to the ground. Note: Glide can be reenabled and disabled as many times as you want until your feet hit the ground.) 3. Maneuverability (Once upgraded, this ability can turn and be directed fairly easily. Until then, always plan your route before jumping. Practice and you will soon be a master.) 4. Distance (Don't think there has ever been a dispute about this one, but with glide, you can hang in the air for a very long time and travel extra far.) 5. Near invincibility against AI (So, the AI seems to have a very tough time getting off shots on a gliding warlock. Some seeker shots might hit you now and again, but all straight shots and splash damage is taken out of the equation. Sprinting, gliding, dropping fast, and repeating can gain you the necessary time to regen your healthbar. Getting swarmed by melee AI? No problem, just double tap and hang out in the air until your heathbar is back, hit the ground for 1 second, you might get hit once, then get back to the clouds guardian, and find a safe location to take out your enemy. When you understand and master all the elements of glide, you'll look back and wonder why anyone ever hated on it. Seems pretty silly now doesn't it? Now get out there and become LEGEND!

Basically double tap your jump butt For max height.

Don't use it like a double jump (e.g., jump, at height of jump, jump again). Instead, quickly pressing jump twice gets me the most height.

To glide into the height, stop moving. Double jump while standing. Glide has many uses... Can save you from certain death. Experiment. Youre a warlock, glass cannon... Play smart. Anyway, happy gliding, I love the feature.
