<DIV>What... what... what happened????</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ok... <takes a deep breath> .... I had a lv 18 Brawler awhile back when I left the game and my FAVORITE thing about him was the attack animations. In particular the jumping spinning back kick animation of Thrust Kick, (lv 11 CA).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now, I came back, rolled up a new Brawler, (on another server with friends), eagerly "run" my way to lv 11 to get Thrust Kick ASAP and... what... what... what... happened?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd say about 70% of the time I get no animation at all, or maybe PART of the animation. I rarely get to see the oh so awesomely cool spinning back kick animation <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I fight with a Bo Staff for the really cool animation of our lv 5 regular Kick, another SWEET animation, and THAT is not changed at all... thank Tunare... but my Thrust Kick is pretty much gone <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Most of you are going to think that what I say next is the dumbest thing you've ever heard... and so be it... to each their own... but If I can't see the animations anymore I don't want to bother playing a Brawler/Monk. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>MY reason... my PESONAL reason.... for playing this class is nothing more than the eye candy of the cool moves. I don't care to tank. I don't care to DPS, (even marginal DPS), I just care about the eye candy of what used to be VERY cool animations.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The animation is NOT being cut off by my using another CA right off the bat by the way... I KNOW that using a CA right away cuts off the animation. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Often times, just t to test, I just lead off with Thrust Kick and, well... often times no animation seems to take place at all and I immediately start swinging my weapon... most often a Bo staff but sometimes DW weapons.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'd read about how we now after LU 13 I believe, continue to autoattack while CA's are performed... an overall boost to our DPS... is that what's cutting off my Thrust Kick animation? If so why doesn't it EVER... not ONE TIME... cut off my regular Kick animation. The Kick animation with a Bo Staff is QUITE lengthy actually and you'd think it too would be cut off by autoattack animations if that is in fact what is hosing up my Thrust Kick animation.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any thoughts on this? Is there ANY way to make it so that I ALWAYS see my full animations, (barring activating another CA of course)?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If not... doubt I'd continue being a Brawler/Monk... certainly no offense to anyone here of course.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Take care,</DIV> <DIV>Daruma, Brawler of Qeynos</DIV> <DIV>Permafrost Server</DIV>
