Guild Wars 2

Why is Asura missing the Shadow effect on dodge when the Thief profession is selected?
In my opinion this makes the thief look distinct from the other professions.
It makes me sad because the Asura have the best animations in the game and are a well designed race.

Hope A-net fixes this or adds this so I can play a Asura Thief

Greetings.

I’ve also noticed this, it’s been like it for a while. Can’t remember when it disappeared but they did used to have it.

Yep, I just recently noticed the same thing. I’m sure it used to be there. I wonder what happened.

Seems it is an easy fix, just assign the animation to the race/class combo, c’mon Anet get with the program!

it has been like this since beta and i doubt it will change.

i thought when you dodge as a thief you kind of ’’stealthed’’ or ‘’faded’ out of existence for a momento so i gathered it was a design choice as to why it was not there.

does it show on other races? also, thief is distinguishable by the unique dodge animation anyway

Funnily enough this is the reason I prefer playing thief as an asura – that sound and visual effect for thief dodge on every other race is horrible. So much better without it.

I just rolled one today and submitted a bug report about it, i’m legitimately upset at the fact that the only race i wanted to play as a thief does not get this animation effect .
