Would it be possible for ANet to have someone address the long-standing animation issues with Asura Elementalists? Other professions have their animation quirks too, but it is very jarring with an Ele.

Examples:
Dagger Fire 1 – Using while moving (as one is always doing with D/D) has the lower torso remaining correct while the upper torso does a complete 270degree turn. The head jerks wildly.

Dagger Air 1 – The head jerks so hard down that my asura is effectively tonguing her bellybutton. Why is the head even doing this? This makes no sense. My human ele just whips her arms.

Dagger Fire 3 – The character kind of leaps in the air and then shoots forward leaving a burning trail. This sounds cool. The actual effect is very abrupt and clumsy, and actually makes the timing feel off. Why can’t they slide like every other race? One would think that sliding Asura would be trivial given that they are small.

I play almost entirely Asura because they are just perfect for me, and accept most of the animation silliness as part of the fun, but these animations could use some work if it is possible. It breaks the immersion.

Fluttershy – Mesmer
Clarishy – Ranger
Tinkershy – Engineer
