Unless you have other sources of Defense (not Resistance, like Temporary Invulnerability), it is not worth slotting Combat Jumping specifically for Defense. However, there are a number of Defense IO sets (or even single Defense set IOs) which offer excellent set bonuses or individual benefits, which would be work using. For example, Luck of the Gambler: Improved Recharge, or Steadfast Protection: Knockback Protection.

I only slot cj as a io mule for lotg recharges or kb io's. Its also a good spot to throw a couple blessings if you're trying to up your ranged defense.

Yeah i wasn't able to fit weave in there. I pretty much used all my power spots. So that's really my only source of defense. It annoys me that super jump turns it off though. I sorta need super jump when I'm I pvp. Just wasn't sure.. I've never slotted it before

The Kismet +Acc is a nice little bonus in there as well.


Enjoy your day please.

As other's have said it's not really worth slotting CJ for Defense. However there are a number of very useful IOs that you can slot in there if you want:

Karma: Knockback Protection (cheaper than the one is Blessing of the Zephyr if you don't want to slot the set)
Kismet: +6% To Hit (note this is a proc 120, so you need to turn CJ on for a bit every two minutes to get the bonus)
Gift of the Ancients: Increased Run Speed (mostly used by Stone Tankers and people who have no travel power)
Luck of the Gambler: Increased Global Recharge
Unbounded Leap: +Stealth (although most people prefer to stick this in Sprint and save a slot)
Winter's Gift: Slow Resistance (not a lot on it's own but it's a nice bonus especially if you can stack it with something in your regular powers)

There are also some nice sets you can slot in it if you can spare the slots. Blessing of the Zephyr is probably the most popular (since it offers nice defense bonuses for very few slots and includes a Knockback IO) but Red Fortune is also sometimes used (although the number of slots required makes it a lot less popular).

for PvP CJ should only be used as a work horse. holding 1 karma: kb io, 1 LoTG: increased recharge and 1 blessing: kb io. it does not save you in PvP as defense means nothing anymore. plus it only gives up to 3% def i think.
