    Archer skill animations...?

    Is it just me or is nobody talking about how ridiculously borked these animations look? Ever since they removed the legs from Archer animations in the beta to prevent sliding around while moving, they've looked awkward as hell both standing still and on the move. I understand the original complaints but I feel like there should be an option to switch between the current solution and the original, full animations. The modelers went through the trouble to make them, and they looked really great, it's painful to see them globally broken and wasted like they are now.

    I know some of you are going to say you don't even look at your own character while you're attacking things, but some of us do care. Just hoping to bring some attention to this issue because right now it's legitimately difficult for me to play Archer and watch my character spaz out every time I press a button.

    Pfff I don't even look at my own character while im attacking things I look at my elite DPS in mah dps meter. Jk. You're right. I level archer to 6 for a skill and the first thing i noticed were the lack luster animations.

    Strangely, Archer is the only class that got this treatment, so the other classes still slide around like mad during skill animations. A toggle option would allow this fix to be applied universally for the sake of the people who are bothered by it, without forcing everyone to accept the animation weirdness it causes.
