its all in the technique. some classes, like humans and similar sized models need to take a more direct approach at the jump, while i find, at least on my gnome and dreanei, that a sideways jump, followed by a strafe is what suits you best. if you got time, i advise you to level an alt to 10, and go practice it. (i prefer levelling a new toon when i wanna test stuff in the gulch so i dont have to drag people down. this is why i have 4 mages all level 10 on another server, called testcharone, testchartwo, and so forth. i wanted to see if a race change was viable :
dont forget, that it takes practice to be the best<3
Why don't you make a alt and get to 10, then test the jump. At least then you have seen it for yourself, understand if its hard or not and don't create a twink on someones word.
Practice Practice Practice. Each race can do it but its knowing how. With Tauren I can make the jump with ease while gnome I need to strafe to the left
