It's fun, that's about it. Great for exploring and getting places fast. If it had the global cooldown removed, then it could have some sweet uses in combat. Soaring Leap, then mid leap hit Storm Stride then Crescent Kick...too bad they didn't think of some skills that could only be used while in the air to make better use of Soaring Leap

If you hit jump and click soaring leap like immediately after you can jump a lot further =D   Mess with it a bit and get the timing down and it is awesome.  If you're on a pvp server it has tons of potential.  Last night i got on the very very top of the 6 dot nameds throne in graystone, and no one would ever think to look for you up there, i promise.  So if a group comes in killing named wati for them to fight it and rain down shurikens on their caster and teleport down and pown the healer while they are fighting. BWAHAHAHHAAHHAAHAH!

Soaring Leap is not only useful  it is so awesome!
it makes us litarly the fastest unmounted class in the game,  and we can use it mounted as well,  the only thing that will be faster is flying mounts  not only that but the uselfulness of jumping over rocks,  jumping UP rocks,  there are someplaces  a monk can get to where levi can't (although there are still places levi can and monk can't as well)

It is just a beautiful idea they added

I've had it for 2 levels and it is great fun and has some excellent uses.

I just wish you could also use it to jump "up", i.e. like a Jedi to get to ledges 15' above you. It will get you somewhat up a grade that you can't run up, but it won't send you actually vertical.

Not complaining though, it is a lot of fun 

Thats how I figured it would be when I first got it, I was suprised to find out it really just throws you upward slightly and forward a decent bit when clicked. I also really like the ability and when you get use to it, it is really nice for traveling. I think it would be pretty cool if they added a slightly lower level version that was more of an upward jump - exactly like the guy that tosses ya over the fence at that lighthouse on Thestra. Call it like "Leap of the Clouds" make it a level 24 ability with around a 15 Endurance cost.
