Simian Thrash graphic change please!

[HoneyBoy]

I know most of the Pugilist are going to rage out over how great the stupid giant purple ball is but it fricken sucks. I hate that I cannot see my character on most mobs because the giant purple ball of doom is in the way.

Grats to Lancers for the badass Doomspike II and Chaos Thrust graphic changes!

Please change Simian Thrash to be less obnoxious graphically and maybe faster with auto attack implemented please

Infact, please change most of our Pugilist graphics to be a tad more unique since most of them look lame(duck down and strong arm right hand......yay!).

I'd rather see them remove the "evade" part than change the visual effects. ST isn't even that great of a WS, and because I have to evade for it, I never use it. Jarring strike is much better, less tp and stun.

I have to agree about the effects on Simian Thrash - they it is obnoxious how overwhelming the giant balls of light are and that you can't even see your character's animation while doing the weaponskill.

I also agree about the potency of the weaponskill vs. its functionality. If you are going to make it that difficult to pull off, use buffs with, and have it incapable to use in a BR - then balance that difficulty with a stronger hitting WS or something to make it worth the inconvenience.

Giant purple ball should go, we lose all the neat animation over a very large stupid effect.

HUGE purple balls of light must become small.

Yea it doesn't need a major change, the animation itself is fine. That obnoxiously large purple ball has got to be reduced though.

I almost had a seizure the first time I saw it used on Great Buffalo. Huge, 300 foot balls of light flashing.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the size has been toned down in 1.18?

Pug needs desperate change for all animations. theyre all mostly identical as stated, duck and hit and large ball effect.
Why not be more creative? FFXI monk had some good animations. Asuran fists and others.

Please make every ability unique and have a completely different animation. not duplicate animation with a slight change in ball colour. thats just slack.

Revamp all pug abilities/animations please !

I agree about the ball obly...it shoulf be replaced with some "breaking" battle effect like flying particles everywhere instead of this ball. It was acceptable before, but with the battle effect increase it just became too ugly.

I like most of PGL animations tho...i guess only pounce really would deserve a quick animation revamp. And victimize maybe...even though i like the "burning fist" effect. Better than that only if they make it like those WWF dudes that first use left hand to put the target in position for them beat him with right hand. Also, victimize reminds me a similar action from FFT serie where the monk uses a burning fist action with low accuracy but that destroys the target if lands.
