Skill animation (a-net look :D).

Hi,

Didn't know where to post this so move if it's in the wrong place. Firstly I think SoD has the coolest animation in the game. It also is obvious for a warrior to see, which is nice. Pre-protting with it, is skillful, but a warrior also has to use skill in order to combat it.

Skills like fear me do not take skill. A monk has to do lots to combat it, while the warrior just has to press a button every time the skill is recharged.

Now I do not think that spirit bond is clear enough to see. Prot-spirit and SoD are both clear and nice. Spirit bond could be much better.

Please change it :].

I also think that SoD should be 8 second recharge. Wouldn't be over powered for GVG and would be more viable for HA. Did not want to make a huge thread on buffs and nerfs though, my main irritation is spirit bond. The animation needs to be much better. Something that swirls around the character a bit like prot spirit. More obvious to see when someone hits over 60 damage too.

Someone has problems monking? :P
J/k ofc. Dunno what's wrong with SB, it still has pretty decent animation....especially if we compare it to Guardian or SoA.

Gaurdian and SoA isn't really like prot-spirit and spiritbond.

I actually think that Spirit Bond has one of the most distinctive animations in the game - it's a big moonface that hovers over the target's head for about 3 seconds. I seriously find Prot Spirit is harder to notice. Different folks, different strokes I guess.

...and Fire Storm looks like rain. Only red with a hint of orange. Though distinct, not very graphic. Almost all the attack animations on warriors look the same. Dervish attacks, some vary with glow, Assassins have got to the point where they reuse skill animations. Rangers lack attack animations, same goes for Paragon.

A lot of animation needs fixing.

Headbutt should be changed too.. Raising your hands and pushing is not a headbutt

Savannah Heat = Searing Heat + Firestorm >_> GG
