Thread: Suggestion for the new WAR animations in 5.0

Ideally, I'd want them to:

(1) Replace Mythril Tempest animation with Decimate Animation and have it be a cone AOE like Overpower (or just turn Overpower into a 360 AOE).
(2) Replace Decimate with Steel Cyclone
(3) Replace "upgraded" Steel Cyclone with Chaotic Cyclone
(4) Have new unique animations for Inner Chaos and Chaotic Cyclone

Or like you said, I think they could use the Brutal Swing animation. I think it looks better than Mythril Tempest. Which makes no sense. Like how would spinning an axe from the center like a staff be an attack? And it wouldn't even spin very well because it it's perfectly balanced, meaning if you were to spin it like with Mythril Tempest the center of the spin would have to be closer to the heavy axe head. Which means you'd just be hitting people with the butt of the axe shaft.

I dunno... I think the large fire ring that Mythril Tempest has makes the animation somewhat decent.

Also, I'd like for them to change the animation on the tank stance graphic. I don't like how the "wind" that wraps around the warrior looks flat, like a paper wrapped around into a silo shape.

I'd be okay with them removing the "wind" effect and just keeping the lightning effect of the stance graphic.

I think it'd be an improvement.

Or you know what?

Some of the fire effects that happen when you shift into deliverance/defiance could be looped to make it into the stance graphic. I think they look pretty good and would probably be an improvement over the current graphic.

Decimate seems like an animation we're displeased of, atleast in this thread, and I personally agree aswell. Like stated already, the animation's slow, the damage that pops up is slow. But, to be fair it is better for it to pop up when you actually land than when you're in the air. Still, it's slow.

I too, would really like Chaotic Cyclone's animation to be the upgrade to Steel Cyclone instead of Decimate's. Then we'll just have to change Chaotic Cyclone's animation to something else chaotic. I'm still conflicted however when it comes to Inner Chaos though, it looks OK the more I look at it...

I've stated my opinion of Mythril Tempest, and Brutal Swing fits the role of a 360° attack imo, when Decimate's may be an option aswell.

When it comes to the tank stance effects.... ... ..we won't have that amazing animation of Deliverance anymore, and that makes me wanna cry. It is far better than Defiance's. Also, yes, the effects that happen whilst switching over to a stance does look good and I wouldn't mind having them permanently haha
