hover and combat jumping

[kendo339]

I see a lot of builds that have both hover and combat jumping.  I thought turning one on toggled the other off, in which case, having both won't help to stack defense.  are people taking both just to have an extra slot for something like LotG that gives the recharge bonus regardless of whether the power is on or off?

Pretty much. I'm not sure they're mutually exclusive, though.

They're not.  Hover and Fly are mutually exclusive, Hover and CJ are not.

Can confirm, I run Hover + CJ on my Corruptor.

Combat Jumping also makes Fly a lot more controllable, and if you can spare a slot for it, it's a good place to put a stealth IO, so you can turn it off easily if you need to drop stealth for an escort mission without affecting your flight speed.
