[Request] For DRK

I know I'm not alone in this.. Can we get the drk to drag their sword rather then holding it as they do. It would seem more fitting does it not? Or at least interchangeable. That is like my only gripe with the class. :b

Edit: since I didn't explain myself adequately I'll post a picture

Something like back left or back right...and occasionally we could get sparks from the blade touching the ground like if you were to sprint. Yeah its just an animation buff but there is a lot that so no harm no foul

No. Dark Knight actually uses real world two handed sword stances. Dragging is just stupid.

To me, dragging would be a sign of weakness. :c
Plus I don't even wanna imagine the constant sound it would make.

True,if were to drag constantly. Instead of dragging I should of used a different term but I'm not sure of the proper description. It would still be held with two hands. Like this :

I like the way it is ATM, so no thank you.

I just wish both /pose stances weren't gender locked. I wanna hold my blade to the ground like a badass lady.

I just want the run animation to change. Did you know there's a different animation for sprinting with the weapon drawn? The run animation holds it forward like a kid running with scissors. The sprint animation looks a lot less clueless. Other than the run animation, I think DRK has some of the best animations in the game.

And I agree with this. There's absolutely no reason to have gender-locked poses. Just let it cycle through with the change pose command. Seriously.

This I wish the sprint animation was the default it just looks badass :cool:

Agreed the sprint one is much better then the default.

lol was wondering what ya where talking about. Then a friend got curious and shown this:

A lot of stances between jobs are gender locked, cuz of this thread my friend was messing around and all do it. vpose and battlestance too

WHM battle seems the closest between the 2 genders

On that note, why do crafting and gathering think they are all PLD O_o

My God. I cringe just thinking of the damage this would do to the blade. Sure, we can implement this, as long as moving/running with the sword dragging inflicts durability damage to it. :D

Then again, female characters DO plunge the thing into the ground as part of their idle stance, which isn't much better...

the DRK is a tank class. he holds his sword in a defensive stance before him, to parry incoming attacks. dragging the sword behind would let him defenseless and break some immersion. so no, dragging the sword would maybe fit a dps class, but not a tank.

I wanna heft mine over my shoulder like the badass Highlander I am.

I'm thinking of Vindictus' Hurk, who runs with his 2h sword in the same manner OP describes. There's heat sparks but no noise.

Also, while this is animation fluff and I'm not against it, I really don't see how it fits practically. Stylish perhaps but impractical
