I have to say I agree with the OP 100%. One of the things that originally drew me to the class was the look and sound of the attack animations, and the way they flowed one into the next. I imagine I'll get used to the new visuals and timings, but the sfx could definitely use a rework. In particular the Chaotic Spring sound which is just so jarringly out of place compared to everything else in the kit that it makes me, like the OP, not even want to play the class.
