At the end of the MNK WS he goes, 'You got served!'

Very cool indeed, but nice animation like this = very bad action lock... hmmm..

The "breakdancing" move is pretty common way of getting up. Or I assume so since I have seen the move done in almost every martial arts fest released. Kind of surprised anyone would be bitching about something like that, but then I remember where I am at. . .

It's because it's channeling momentum since doing a round house kick of any kind will give you quite a bit of momentum and it has to go somewhere lol, sure people can get fancy about it but it is what it is.

so what do you propose? that you slide away during the WS or break the WS animation like in early release?

Yes this is exactly what we want, we want to be able to run away from the mob and play the WS animation without even looking at the mob! We want to slide around on the ground as we're buffing ourselves since it won't look silly at all.

Thank you for the thread creation while I was still in bed all warm and cozy.
Instead of making all of you lovelies go to the original dev. post, I shall post them in here! Oh the power!

We present to you, the first preview of job weapon skills featuring Monk and Warrior!
