Guild Wars 2

Hi there.
I have a question about Greatsword skill animations. Is there will be used standart animation for his skills (like Guardian/Warrior animations on AA, Whril, etc.), or there will be different? Like maybe more slower animation where character use weight of his weapon more?

Update 26.05.2015
well with beta test – i hope someone can answer this or maybe ever create some video with reapers animations from different races.
And more – hope we will see Reaper shroud of different races too!

Sorry for bad english

Judging from the live stream, the auto attack chain of the GS will be slower than every other auto attack chain currently available (it’s only 0.25 sec difference, but still). That should give the attacks more weight, which is exactly what they want to achieve: slow but heavy hits.
Animation-wise, it’s likely that some of the shown animations are not yet final in appereance, so we can’t be too sure whether Necro gets it’s own GS animations, but personally, I think they’ll modify existing animations rather than coming up with entirely new ones, but that’s just my personal speculation.
I hope this helps.

Where are people getting the .25 from is it from the individual chain skills ? AFAIK Necro GS chain is 1 secs slower than Guard/Warrior and 0.75 slower than a Ranger

I think it’s 0.25 sec per hit, that would fit with your information; the entire chain is 0.75 to 1 sec slower than all other chains atm. Sorry, might have been more clear about that.

Specializations are not hooked up in Beta, its just the press beta we had a while ago with some added PvE content, nothing really worth the time imo.

it’s funny really, apparently it’s necromancer’s duty to be the only profession that recognizes a greatsword weighs something.
