Default Silly question but *animations*

Why are Rangers have different attack animations between male and female?

Male fires bow normal, females fires it with it cocked to the side. Even the buffing is different. Just woundering why rangers got this treatment but I havn't noticed with others yet.

I always assumed that the females stance was because generally females are shorter, and some of the bows are too tall. But, in archery, slanting the bow is accuracy related (depending on the shooter). Never tried holding the bow completely horizontal myself.

Slanting the bow is also related to whether or not you have huge luggage in front of you.

Male Rangers fire horizontally with:

[skill]Crippling Shot[/skill]
and
[skill]Pin Down[/skill]

As for why the animations are different: what Stormlord and masamune said.

height is less of an issue... the real reason is that drawing the bow vertically will cause the imaginary bowstring to twang against the female rangers' titties... which would be rather awkward.

so it comes down to whether we have the female rangers draw their bows horizontally, or make all of them cut off their right breast amazon-style. it should be obvious which way is better

..i don't think this is a build discussion, nope.

besides, it's getting off topic and a decent enough reason was supplied.
