I’ll give you an upvote on this because it’s definitely one of the issues with the camera and that person on reddit did a great job of breaking the issue down.
Thank you kindly!
While I could write an essay regarding this topic, someone on Reddit appears to have done so for me, so instead I will post the link here to share to you all. To any Anet Devs and/or moderators reading this, I cannot suggest this enough. This has been a concern of mine since beta, but I’ve never really been able to put the words to it.
tl;dr The camera doesn’t change with character height, causing much of our view to be obstructed. If the camera had a set height or changed height based on the height of the character, instead of the height of the race, gameplay and general view of the world would be greatly improved.

I concur with Liquid Rhino. Besides the fact that legendaries are supposed to be special, if you were going to get The Incinerator then you would know LONG before putting in the effort that your animations were going to be changed. I did not know this was gonna be the case and if I did I wouldn’t have spent my money.
Regardless of what happens with this thread Anet, if you’re gonna have weapons that INTENTIONALLY change an animation, PLEASE advertise it, otherwise you’re gonna have a lot of annoyed customers.
I recently purchased Marjory’s Dagger from the gem store for my necro, and upon playing with it a bit I noticed it changed some of my animations – and not entirely for the better I’m afraid…
Most notable is that off-hand dagger skill #4, Deathly Swarm, no longer plays its animation and instead my necro just throws his knife at people. I’ve also confirmed that it does something similar for Death Shroud #1, Life Blast, and Death Shroud #2, Dark Path.
I’m not entirely certain whether this is intended or not, as I know there are other weapons that do this like the Incinerator. But it makes more sense for the incinerator, its a fiery blade of doom! Marjory’s dagger is cool looking but you can’t hardly see it when you throw the thing.
So does anyone know? Bug or Feature? And if bug, can haz fix plz?
