Swimming Sarnak?

[Nayurayne]

<p>Hi I'm Nay and I'm addicted to Sarnaks.</p><p>Anyhow, I would like to know how these lovely iksar/dragon hybred swim. I know it's a little thing but honestly I hope they swim like the Iksar as all the other races lack uniqueness. What I'm asking is that anyone who might be at fan faire, or might have gone..or just come back.... I'm asking if they can run these guys through a lake or something and tell me what is their swimming animation? (I'll cry if it's the same as the generic racial one...they should use that nice long tail darnit)</p>

Buh, well I can still hope yes? I just think all the other races look like they came out of swimming school lessons holding a big huge red F is all.

<p>We havn't actually seen in good detail how the player sarnak are built either. We've seen a nice close up unrobed NPC but not a good shot of a player model. So who knows they could make it work..the player models are more close to the froglok model it looks like. (going by posture and such) Anyway us arguing about it won't do much good either way. I was just curious as to what it was since the normal swimming animations make me wanna cry. Heh either way how a sarnak swims isn't going to make or break it for me....gonna play one no matter what. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

My guess is based on what I have seen of them they will do some form of Breast Stroke(ie Froglock), as aposed to a Lizzard Swim like the Iksar.

Ahh Azzaroth, you're just mad becuase the iksar made slaves that were superior to themselves. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I mean you take the two best races on Norrath and squish em together...what do you expect.
