It is something I just had a thought about but the animations for the Machinist version of Refresh and Tactician role skills are basically non-existent. They kind of just do this pose like they accidentally just stubbed their toe.
I know the main reason for this is there was a pre-existing animation for bards (IE the flute playing) so it was easy to make the bard version look more impressive. As this animation was probably prepared for several other skills as well and is easy to reuse.
So, I had an idea! How about for machinist's refresh+tact they could use the scrapped turret upgrade animation? This was from 3.0 where when you upgrade your turret and the machinist pulls out a remote control from their pocket and presses a button on it. This animation looks somewhat better as its almost like the machinist uses a gadget on the party to buff them...
Thoughts? I realize that SE probably won't ever read this so I'm mostly just asking the crowd here to see if they had thought about this too.
