<p>Agree 100%!</p><p>This is the same post my poor paladin has when she wards herself. Really not at all what I would imagine a brave paladin of marr doing when calling on the favor of her god to protect her.</p><p>GO! MARR!!! *cringes away from the big nasty monster about to hit her* </p><p>Yeah...brave...</p><p>We shouldn't cringe down like that. It's not a tornado drill.  It looks REALLY bad in battle. Truly breaks the flow.</p>

[Zabjade]

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">I was thinking a fists crossed at the wrists pose about neck high and about hald a foot from the face would work better, for a Paladin/SK using the Wards should hold up their shield with a partical effect comming form that. </span></p>

[Finora]

<p>SK's do hold up their weapon in the air with a nice flourish for thiers.</p>

<p>Someone may have plugged old animations into this. I wasn't aware that these were changing, so I will take a look and see whats up.</p>

<p>I don't deal with the particle effects, just the broken animations. I'm finding some close to that pose, but it makes no sense that's what's being used.</p>

Alot of the new animation/partical effects seem either repetitive or bland under the new particle changes. It is also due to the fact most of the AA attacks havent been updated yet and are just reusing the same animations already in use on standard combat arts, but I also dont think the alot of work was done on brawlers to use alot of the animations available. </p><p>Since this isn't particularly part of the particle effect changes but more of the animations I am not sure if you would like for me to include a list of the new effects i think should be changed or tweaked because they are just reused animations. </p>

<p>Yup, that's the same animation that many of us are talking about. The whole "please don't hurt me, I'm cowering in fear with my hands over my head" move. Apparently someone at SOE really, really thinks that's just an awesome animation because they're using it with a lot of different spells.</p>

Heroic standpoint, I could see this animation representing the player gathering power from their hands and surging it through their body before unleashing it, Dragon Ball Z style.</p><p>All things considered, this animation shouldn't be used for anything heroic.</p>

[Onodi]

<p>This is the same animation as "Deffensive Minded" for the guards and has been since TSO.  Never been a huge fan of it because of the concerns already listed.  Sort of gimpy for the tank to give off an emote that says ohh no don't hurt me.</p><p>What next agro/taunt controlls that use the /beg emote  (please pay attention to me).  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Most of the new Coercer spell animations share animations... I really dislike it.</p><p>I like the Charm animation, but as a raiding coercer, Charm doesn't do anything for me so that animation kinda goes to waste there.</p><p>I hope new animations come in for all the Coercer spells, 'cuz it gets really boring just to watch the same animation when casting. Also, the root animation for Coercers is very lacking and hard to see on the mob.</p><p>I will give you props for that "rainbowy" effect on some of the spells when the mob is hit by those spells.</p>

<p>New combat animations would be great, however I would just be happy with a "true" sit animation (like sit on your butt). I heard there is a sit in chair animation now, or has my hopes been dashed.

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">The Sit Animation is still in Debug....Dual animations huh...like grabbing a mob and flippiing and slamming them into the ground? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" /></span></p>

<p>Ttobey, while you're at it, can you remove the spell effect from the Monk and Bruiser's Feign Death? As stated by the lore, these are abilities that the monk can pull off through physical training. It is not Arcane Combat like all our attacks. Spell-cast versions like Necromancers, Shadowknights, and Tinkered devices offer should have spell animations, but not a physical ability like Feign Death. It should look the way it has since the game started.</p>

<p>Someone already posted about coercer animations...</p><p>Wanted to add that also coercer particle effects are horrible now. And having like 5 spells that share the same effect on the mob is boring as hell... And I can't see how this relates to the patch notes: "The purpose for these changes are primarily to optimize and individualize as many spells as possible so there will be more uniqueness to each class."</p><p>I knew we were second class citizens, but this is f***ing annoying.</p><p>At least my wizard alter got some love and I have to say good job on his animations and particle effects. Now back to work on coercer....</p>
