Seriously, if you haven’t seen the current Sword AA on male norn or asura yet, then you’ve missed out and should check it before it goes away.

If anyone is able to record and has an open character slot, it would be great to have a video of all the races doing the sword auto before it’s gone forever. Even if you hate the mechanics, I think everyone is going miss this animation a lot!

The animation was beautiful and majestic, especially on my max sized charr!

There is just something wondrous about a 500 pound devil cat swinging his huge, clawed foot to perform a slashkick to someone’s face.

Even my minimum height mushroom Sylvari was amazing. Such a tiny little man, and then suddenly he breaks out into a flurry of kicks and slashes!

I will really, really miss the old animations even if I was one of the proponents of the change.

Yeah, I absolutely love the Ranger sword AA chain animation on my Charr. Super acrobatic and just flat-out cool looking, plus really unique. Its a shame so many of the cool animations in the game have to get cut because of movement during attacking. Its undoubtedly better for functionality, but its too bad the visual flair has to go as well. The new one looks so lifeless and boring, no acrobatics at all.

I actually don’t have any Charr other than my Ranger who uses a sword, so I can’t tell if the new AA animation is just the same exact animation chain that every other sword class has or not. But I suspect it probably is. Which is just disappointing.

Here you go.

Reminds me of Kung Pow: face to foot style, how do you like it!?

Could not stand the sword AA for male Norn, it’s what made me change the gender for my main
