1 month ago So this is a mixed bag.
Heroic Leap is actually really restricted on 4.3.4 You cannot make a jump from the Blade's Edge Arena bridge to the platform without being aligned with the ropes in 4.3.4 as well.
The Hoodrych tricks video does show spots you currently cannot do, but could do in 4.3.4.
So Heroic Leap is bugged, but not in the way that it should be way more useable. It is just some of these special jumps where it favored the player more are not currently doable.
1. Current Behavior
1.1. Description
Currently, Heroic Leap is behaving like a worse charge. It is not attempting to do any path finding and instead draws a line between the warrior's current position and the place he wants to leap to, and if in that straight line there is a problem with the pathing (e.g a hole or a wall) then you will not be able to heroic leap.
To visualize this:
This leap is currently not valid, while a charge is, because a charge would find a valid path between the ropes.
While this leap is valid, because in that straight line, there is a clear path through the rope.
2. Expected Behavior
2.1. Description
Back in 4.3.4, leap had little to no restrictions (see source video below). If this cannot be achieved in modern wow due to exploit concerns, then at the very least it should behave like a charge with no distance limitation (except the heroic leap range check). This means that if there's a valid charge path to the place you're trying to leap to, no matter how far away that path is, it should allow you to leap there.
