Guild Wars 2

Anybody in the same plane with me on this? That aa is a big turn off for Sword for me. Cant seem to get into it, but pretty much forced to since its one of the best weapons the class has for mainhand.

Sword AA is literally one of my favorite animations…

I’m loving it.

I’m loving it as well. I feel like it could use a slight (read very very very slight) increase in range, however. Sometimes the sword’s visual model looks like it’kittenting stuff and it’s still a miss. Maybe it’s just the sword i’m using but yeah, annoying.

The second one is really weird after opening with a lunge, otherwise it’s ok in my book. would love some work on the 2nd. Other than that i hope they will give us a real staff idle/walk/run since it looks so weird with the Hammer one.

My main hand sword is skinned with Bonetti’s Rapier so starting off with a thrust feels good and natural with a fencing modeled sword.

I just dont like the starting thrust, but i can get over it

OP has no specific examples as to why he dislikes the aa, nor a suggestion of how to make it better. Thats what u need to give if u want change. Personally i like its current aa, esp the stab opener.

I actually think its ugly too. it starts with a stab and the slashes look awkward. the initial stab makes your torso look like rubber.

great AA though

I guess it depends on the race. It is very fitting on my Asura. I am close to max height so my model is a bit bigger in scale. With the super sword it looks funny, especially with Impossible odds. the animations are fitting if you use a rapier or foil sword like Lord Faren’s sword and Boniters? (SP)

That’s what she said.

The AA is yet another unique aspect of playing a Revenant.
It’s an Awesome one too!!

On Asuras it’s great, on other races, not so much.

My first reaction was like ‘’man so messy and powerless’’.

I felt the same when when I first saw it…still do.

I think it’s because it’s not fluid enough.

It feels (animation wise) like quick hit – pause – quick hit – pause -quick hit – pause rather than fluid one-two-three-short pause

Agree with Killyox, it’s not a very fluid animation. It looks better under impossible odds because it smooths out the pauses a bit.

Might be in part because they changed the way the second hit works before launch. It used to hit twice.

Also might be a bit bias since I’m coming off ranger and ranger sword auto is gorgeous and fun and awesome.

I think it’s good but needs some smoothing out

It would be great if it could get a few tweaks to smooth it out, as others mentioned
