Preserving removed animations in 4.0

[Allyrion]

Why is it level 62? ring of thorns is 46, so you don't have aoe for 60 caps and below? And straight line ? so no aoe now?

DRG keeps Doom Spike which comes at 42, before Ring of Thorns. It's also the AoE, you're supposed to use as a filler and Ring of Thorns was only good when following Heavy Thrust (when it needs refreshing).

This change results in a very minor tp loss between 46-62, but you gain a lot more AoE damage and tp efficiency post-62. Ring of Thorns was a trap ability because new players who don't know better would spam it instead of Doom Spike. SE is making changes so it's more intuitive how to AoE.

About the complete removal, I liked the animation but I'm also not crying for it's sound going away or its spam potential.
