Au Ra Astrologian Movement Physics Bug

[Van_Kedisi]

Date & Time: 9:30pm 10/17/2019
Frequency: All the time
World name: Hyperion
Character name: Van Kedisi
Retainer name: N/A
NPC name: N/A
Monster name: N/A
Class/Level: Astrologian, Level 72
Party or solo: Both
In-game time: 12:22am
Area and coordinates: N/A
Housing: N/A
Steps:
1. Play Astrologian as an Au Ra (I don't know if this happens on male Au Ra as well, I only tested it on female Au Ra)
2. Cast spell while getting hit by a knockback attack (has to be an attack, arena knockback effects like Leviathan tilting the boat don't work).
3. If spell is interrupted by knockback towards the end of the spell cast, the movement physics of the clothes and tail will bug out and revert to Movement Physics: Limited, even if it was set to Full. Here's a comparison between the two settings to give a better idea of the difference, and Here's a video of how I recreated this bug. I've recreated it 3 times now, each time when I was hit by a knockback attack while I was casting a spell.

This happens regardless of the armor my character is wearing. And as far as I have tested, only happens when playing Astrologian. I have been unable to recreate this bug with any other Job.

This has been a known issue reported since HW. I know that it was an issue I encountered a lot during SB, usually when trying to weave in Sprint between my GCDs. For some reason, it would just randomly break the physics of the clothes—which is far more noticeable than some realize when you’re wearing a long dress/robe/skirt. I think it has something to do with the fact that ASTs have motion physics for their gear when their weapon is drawn (i.e., it flutters ethereally), and something happens to just break them completely during combat. I’ve never had this issue on any other job; and the only difference between AST and other jobs are that their gear animates when their weapon is drawn.
