Bards core rotation's character animations (refulgent arrow, burst shot, the dots all use the same animation on the player model), not the visual effects / particles, it's just your character standing straight and narrow gently pulling back a bow while all these outlandish effects go off in front of them. It's like they tacked on some great particle effects to the most boring animation ever.

Even the casters chant spells with more force, throwing their backs into it, arms flailing and extending, while their robes flow from the force of the spell. Nevermind the machinist excessively jumping around pulling a trigger on a gun.
