MCH Casting Animations

[KaedrianLiang]

...something that makes sense, like bards have...

Even the brd one doesn't make sense. Holding your arrow in the quiver boosts damage by 30%? wat?????

Should have been an "aiming" animation, where the brd is holding a drawn arrow pose for the 1.5 sec cast time, or a more ritualistic animation where the archer is slowly drawing the arrow while taking aim, during the 1.5 cast time then releasing.

I feel the mch cast should be a simple aim down the sight and shoot. Instead its something wacky that looks more instinctual followed by a fling shot.

I feel stupid using it.

I'm sure you'd feel even more stupid knowing any competent Tank/Healer is doing more DPS than you because you can't stomach the animations Gauss Barrel brings.

Use it.

Use it.

Nowhere in my post did I say that I was outright refusing to use it, so that assumption is unnecessary. This is a thread I made in an attempt to submit a suggestion about getting a different animation, not an attempt to whine my way out of using it altogether.

I did mention finding myself trying to avoid it, but that is outside of dungeons, on the field alone, with my chocobo out, so that's my own prerogative and has nothing to do with affecting other players.

And yet I find myself avoiding it anyway

That is all you specified and only added the dungeon comment to your reply to mine, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who made that assumption.

Regardless of what you or anyone else assumed, the point of this thread isn't to argue the usefulness of GB, it was to make a suggestion to change the animation. There's nothing constructive about coming here to argue with me about whether or not I should be using it - I'm using it. What else do you want from me? Why does this matter?

Youre being overly defensive over an assumption to the point it wouldn't shock me if there was some truth in you not using it all just stop.

Perhaps word your posts better in the future if that's truly what you meant instead of numerous posts later contradicting what you said previously and claiming my assumption is unnecessary.

I may get hate for this, but I always kinda hoped MCH was more like Gunslinger/Sniper from SWTOR. The ranged snipe and on the move mid range dps was really fun and fit the role(s) well too.

They won't change it. Countless drks have complained to have the darkside aura changed but they refuse to do anything.
