Dark Knight Animations

Skating Unleash is indeed one of the worst parts of playing DRK, although this happens with every melee job. For example on the PLD, there's the Skating Rage of Halone, and the Skating Riot Blade.

Neither involve you plunging a solid metal object into the ground, and then floating around as though it were a spoon moving through yoghurt.

Stuff.

Very debatable. I think it's awesome. I don't sweat the small stuff like this.

I'd say it was debatable on something like Halone, indeed. I don't notice it, and main a loladin. But on Unleash? No. The animation itself creates the expectation of a fixed point. It's just poor, poor design.

I just want some more NOISE. I swear for a class wielding arguably the largest weapon in the game and summoning the inner rage as power we are as quiet as a newborn baby.

...Really? All that Unleash spam is NOT noisy to you?

Unleash sure but the rotations are so silent it's almost disturbing.

Blood Sword + Blood Price (or whatever it's called)=makes me hate the sound effect of recovering MP.

The skating effect is real and I don't like it. The problem can be solved by acceleration that animation. It is too slow thus the skating effect lasts a while and it's quite visually annoying. By speeding it up it will be less visible.

Skating during Unleash looks horrid and is overtly apparent - largely because you almost always use the skill while moving. Painfully reminiscent of Quake 2 multiplayer. The OP has a valid compliant - don't be so dismissive.

Skating looks horrid for every job. It's the one thing that really breaks the connection I have with my (and other's) character.

I wonder why it is so hard for them to not have that happen. Only one thing comes to mind: PS3 limitations. :P
