Dark Knight Animation Swap Proposal

[BannedatRegistration]

Proposal - I would like to propose that the animations for the Dark Knight abilities "Power Slash" and "Souleater" be swapped.

Reason(s) - Having "Power Slash" as the least used combo ender in a typical DRK rotation makes the animation very under appreciated. The current animation for "Souleater" is decent looking, however I personally feel that the animation for "Power Slash" fits the style, feel, and overall functionality of what "Souleater" is supposed to encompass and satisfy (visually) to a Dark Knight player.



...I don't know how this is supposed to officially be made, but I'm going to post anyway and hope it gets enough upvotes or bumps where devs can see.

I'd back this, yeah; I also favor the satisfaction of Power Slash's animation over Soul Eater currently.
The thing is, the application of their damages would need to be switched as well; right now, Power Slash applies damage on the latter half of the animation, that is, when the DRK shoots the energy out his palm. Luckily, Soul Eater's current animation has the potential to apply damage on a latter half as well--as the DRK does the descending slash. The circumstances are pretty much a-okay for a change like this.

You have my vote.

Agree. That handpull on the Power Slash fit more for the HP drain effect

Well. Powerslash animation is trunk's move. And i can appreciate it where it is. Its the bad ass threat move. With DA its like "IM YOUR APPONENT" i agree soul eater should have a more [im draining your hp for my use] feel to it. I forget cause im not in game but i think thats one of berzerk's animation.

For your #1 most used skill, Souleaters animation is kind of disappointing. Power Slash is nice, but I feel the downward swing needs more impact before the hand blast comes.

Personally I feel Power Slash should stay as it is, but Souleater should just be given a new animation. Literally an entire battle you do nothing but bunny hop.

Glad I'm not the only one who has been thinking this. Make it happen Square!

yeah your right

I'm kinda happy how Soul Eater is at the moment, the trouble with Power slash is yeah the hit dose come in late and SE beining a HP recovery move you would to heal that HP asap rather then wait the extra 1 second.

I suggest maybe just adding something coming from your opponent into you as you land the downward slash.

As happy as I am with the DRK animations, this one is certainly one that does stick out a bit, and does feel a bit mixed up as things are now. The downward swing of Soul Eater definitely looks like more of an actual power slash than anything that comes out of the actual skill. Likewise, the magical bit from Powerslash would probably fit better with Soul Eater's theme.

That said, I'm not really that bothered. DRK has a lot of problems that need addressing. Something like this is far off the radar.

The animation of power slash is way too slow compared to soul eater. It's clunky.
