Visible Class Traits
I noticed something coincidental earlier... and I mean coincidental because I've always done it... Its the way I stand. Its very much like the typical posture of Necromancers in GW... which happens to be unusual in real terms because I'm the only person I know who by default hooks their fingers like claws (part of being as odd as I am)... I only really paid attention when I was examining the GuildWiki article for the Avatar of Grenth form... not least since all the forms stand and move like a particular class...
It left me thinking... I stand like a Necromancer (slightly hunched forward, hands bent at the wrist, fingers splayed and hooked... like tiger-form wushu style... old habit... hard to get rid of) I run like an Assassin (largely the influence of watching too many kung fu films combined with several months of Capoeira lessons, as it happens... Yes, I genuinely leaning forward with one arm in front of me and one behind) I dress like an Elementalist (the whole jacket thing... I love that style of clothing, provided its in black) Theoretically I could compare all of my standard motions and habits to GW class animations... but that would be pushing it too far. Needless to say I have strange ways of moving that likely draw at least in part on the same inspirational sources as the animations for different classes in GW.... though to some extent I just came by them naturally. I figure the Necromancer standing posture is just a draw on what is typically used to portray characters as evil and unnatural in old films... vampires and the like. The Assassin running style is literally taken right out of the oriental films and whatnot, though I ran with both arms behind before I took Capoeira.... No explanation necessary for clothing of Elementalists.... Its just awesome... Humour my curiosity.... Do any of you folks have any class tendencies based on your natural movements? |

I'd rather leave the dances out of this. I know where they come from.... I'm talking about subtler things than that....

nono, i think soticoto says that he himself have a standing posture that kinda look like the necromancer.
the finger positioning is actually quite normal. just about everyone's hand will curl up slightly when they're not in use. as for the hunched back.... you need to get out more  . it's medically proven that having a hunched back is bad for your health eventually.

Well, my daughter used to run around the living room like an Avicara, but she outgrew that.

... So this thread has instantly been thrown in the bin-board with the nonsense. Great.... ¬_¬
I try to make a serious thread and because it doesn't deal in the statistical mechanics of the game it gets lumped here. Well forget it. I might as well abandon it here as I'm not going to get any serious answers. |

I leap into the air and arch my back and like stretch all my muscles and call down meteors in a shower to kill my enemies :P No, really, I keep a good posture, walk straight, and don't constantly bump into people and be an idiot like the millions of walking nubs out there who have 0 points in that attribute. Yep they are allowed to drive cars too :/ Then again, I don't mind when I meet a sexy elementalist looking girl IRL with necromancer nails and she bumps into me :P
