When you are a sylvari and have 2 one hand weapons equipped like a sword and pistol, or dagger/dagger, the running animation looks terrible. Its like the feet arnt going high enough in the back and it just looks awkward. When they run with a shortbow its fine though. Does anyone know what i mean?? Can this be changed??

Do you mean male or female? I use two one handers on both genders (as well as using two handed weapons) and it seems ok to me.

I think I see what you mean, and it looks like she’s taking shorter strides due to having weapons drawn.
This is probably required by how wide the arms swing when running.
It looks weird when not in combat because you maintain the same movement speed even though your legs slow down.
Switched to shortbow, see the same thing but not as pronounced.
She holds the bow off to the side, only holding it with both hands when in combat or standing, so it impedes the motions less than a pair of one handers (I used axes)

In my opinion I think the animation is cute. It’s like she’s skipping forward

Agreed, the female Sylvari run animation is wonky with weapons drawn.

EDIT: The male animation looks more like proper running, leaning into it and moving. The female animation doesn’t seem to lean into the motions as much and the whole thing looks awkward to me as a result.
