Guild Wars 2

Ok, this is nitpicking, and I’m sure someone else has said it, but the warrior greatsword rush skill for the Asura is lame. For those unfamiliar with how it looks; the Asura always hold their greatswords and hammers on their shoulder, and when they “rush” to attack they still hold it on their shoulder. For starters, it doesn’t look very aerodynamic, it just looks like their tiny legs start moving faster. Compare that to the Charr; when they rush, they go on 3 legs while holding the sword to the side… its freakin BA. The Asura, on the other hand, just do the same animation they do when they are walking around with their sword out. Holding on their shoulders is kinda lame to begin with. Whoever worked on the Asura did a great job (Asura animations were the reason I chose one), but they failed on this animation IMO.

We should have rocket boosters spawn on the bottom of our boots as we rush.

Heh, over-the-shoulder GS-carrying is usually a “BA Pose.” It’s still pretty roughcore on Asura, in general: but I’d agree that for Rush, specifically, there could be another animation. Maybe, they hoist it over their heads, and rush you like berserk badger-(wo)men.

I’d say it sort of balances out.

Asura Hundred Blades animation is plain awesome while Charr Hundred Blades looks like they aren’t even paying attention to where they swing, they just flop it around hoping to catch something in their swinging arc.

That’s a very fair point, Leo G. Let alone Asura ‘swordsman’ animations in general
(100B, Blurred Frenzy, etc.)
