Curse

I was doing Urgoz's Warren today as a Rit Lord, and I decided to take Spirit's Gift just for some fun since I had an extra spell slot, and when I casted it I noticed that it was the same animation as Boon of Creation! I was kind of disappointed and so I just continued playing, not worrying about it much.

I know this is something that isn't very important, but couldn't A-net at least create unique animations for each spell? Some spells don't even have an animation, but it would be nice if they could implement more animations.

I'm probably just ranting on and whining about this, but it just bugs me whole lot. Sometimes I just unlock spells to see how they look while you're casting them, and I get disappointed when they are the same as some other skill.

Examples:

Boon of Creation - Spirit's Gift
Backfire - Frustration
Hex Eater Vortex - Shatter Hex

(There's probably a whole bunch of other spells out there that look the same as other spells while casting.)

If they went through and animated all the spells individually, then the animators would have had to work harder. It makes the games more expensive, which isn't what A Net wanted. I would have liked more animations as well, but I would much rather have a cheaper game that's free to play. Think of how many skills and spells they would have had to animate separately. I personally would have liked Final Thrust to be a thrust at least, but I'm not too picky.
