Looks quite amazing for Thief.

Our staff animation is a new one. Thieves have been complaining about their staff 3 auto because Daredevil is a martial art, not a supernatural magical class like Revenant.

I hope we get in on our staff as well along with different holding stance cus hammer one..doesnt really fit it. But most important im still waiting for a proper sword auto animations, not this fugly placeholder mess we have right now.

The staff autoattack is probably the one thing that I wish was different on charr. I like the asura one a lot, but I like most of the other animations better on charr. :c

And I agree with the above post about changing the idle animation. I don’t really see why it can’t just be the regular staff one. Hammer idle just looks wrong with a staff.

I’ve been saying the staff animation #3 looks horrible on charr for a while now. I hope they change it to this new one.

OO I like new animations!

Here is hoping we see some of them on Revenant!

Please tell me the rev gets some of these, they look amazing

I think Revenant staff animation is fine, personally.

I like the spinning on Revenant. A lot of their abilities are all about spinning and twirling their staff, and it is a really great homage to the Dervish.

The reason im not going charr is cuz of the last spin animation on staff 1. Its like the charr is a helicopter with the staff spinning ontop of his head, and his hands arnt even touching the staff. Some may like this though.

Indeed, animations of both Autoattack and #3 Staff look terrible on Charr.

Would just like to echo this, hopefully the third autoattack can get a look, it really looks out of place and makes it hard to see exactly what you’re hitting. It also gets mixed up with the reflect a lot.

Speaking mainly as Charr. I don’t know how bad the other races are.

If it’s not out of question I honestly wouldn’t mind just grabbing the Thief 3rd AA animation for it.

OMG…

I used to look down on that new pistol because I think the design is plain.

But after watching this Twitt, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

The thing it shoots out it’s just darn awesome!

I think I’m going to ditch the staff hype thingy and look forward to pistol.

I don’t think revenant should wield the staff like a martial artist like the daredevil… Daredevil is a mobile/ agile fighter as to where the revenant is a full plate bruiser. You have sword sword for mobility. I don’t think revenant should steal thief’s animation, what revenent currently has seperates it from daredevils new auto animation making them both unique looking. You stole our burst and have our mobility while being a plate class… Don’t steal our animations too.

True and i loved dervish in GW (it was my main after Nightfall was released). The Staff auto-attack tho, i thought the Thief version looks more dervish-like in comparison to the Revenant one, maybe some kind of overhead swing would look better, but then again, i’m probably the only one who tries to wield scythe-like staves constantly.

Please give us the DD staff animation on a Charr Revenant. Its so much cleaner, and lacks any of that hold gap that is the only thing holding me to human at the moment.

If we could just have the first two strikes of the auto attack I’d be happy. Though that third strike is pretty awesome.
