Wildfire Visual Feedback

[RaizeGraymalkin]

This thread should be changed to "Can we please change all the visuals on MCH attacks?" because my god are they fucking dull. I should be flipping around like I'm in the Matrix or some shit. There is no flare or pizzazz to the job at all. It's so visually boring.

This. The gear looks pretty great (except the whole Gauss Barrel can of worms) but the animations... Yeah, Wildfire should look like my target is being napalmed or something. Basically, the MCH LB3 looks about as impressive as regular weaponskills from other jobs. More lasers, more explosions, more target painting.

Yup +1. MCH is one of my favorite classes but because the animations look so. . . bad, I don't play it.

+1 to this. Wildfire burst is such a huge part of the MCH DPS toolkit, and you don't even get an animation for your troubles. For such a big burst skill to basically be nothing but floating numbers, it really feels like a missed opportunity. Would it kill to get one super flashy animation like other DPS?

KILL THAT DAMN FLY ON YOUR SIGNATURE ITS GIVING ME AN ULCER

D:<<<<<<<<<<<

how about they give it 3 different explode animations based on its dmg.

1 to 4k, 4k to 7k, and finally anything above 7k.

Anything above 7k dmg should explode similar to holy/flare .... Booooooom!

Yeah first time I used it I didn't even realize it had happened already. Figured their would've been an explosion or something.

I will say in regards to MCH's animations is that, unlike other classes, they actually flow together fluidly from move to move and there seems to be less herky jerkyiness going on. Like going from a Clean Shot to a Quick Reload doesn't just cancel the previous animation. That's one thing it has going for it, at the very least.

I dont see how they actually forgot to give our highest damaging ability an actual animation. They spent too much god damn time making dragoon overly flashy. The only one of our attacks that looks cool is ricochet.

[Velhart]

The only neat animations MCH have are Clean Shot and Ricochet. If you used animations of all other abilities and took the names out, I would have no idea which is which. If there is some animation on Wildfire, I am not seeing it.

I also mentioned this in another thread, but the Gauss Barrel stance would of been better looking if there was no attachment to it and maybe have the device on your side light up. The aether being fed from it requires a charge since it takes more than the usual amount, but more damage in return. Could of made it work with lore and does not devalue the aesthetic of the gun. That is just opinion though, some probably like the GB aesthetic on the gun.

Its just funny DRK and AST got all these really cool animations and MCH got little to none. If SE will ever update this seems unlikely, but I have been wrong before.

A shame MCH is very lacking, especially since there's really only 3 attacks that you use on a regular basis. Wilfire even shares the same sound effects as fester and even fester has an effect that shows it was used.

Since MCH uses aether "bullets" it might as well have been a bit flashy like this
