Like someone said on the first page, class specific animations are pretty nice.
Like this, for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOhHrqHdv-8

Move the spell animations/skill animations down a tier.

Tier1 Elemental Spell > Tier2 Elemental Spell
Tier2 Elemental Spell > Tier3 Elemental Spell

Puncture Animation > Puncture II animation
Puncture II Animation > Puncture III animation

Quick fix without all the head ache. Well, assuming these animations are finished completely and are "flashy" enough for the community.
