Shroud.4683 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Am I the only one that's bothered by the way the rev uses sword on the main hand? I dont mind the stab, but Brutal Blade doesn't seem brutal enough, and Rift Slash just seems underwhelming. Warriors, Thieves and Mesmers have such awesome sword animations, but it the revs just seem odd. Can we change these animations to something else?

aaguilarce.1764 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Warriors, Thieves, Mesmers and even Rangers have such awesome sword animations* But yeah the AA sword looks weird in humans, especially Brutal Blade and Rift Slash, it seems that I'm going to twist my back and hit me with the sword.

Shroud.4683 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah, I'm making an effort to like it, but it just doesn't seem right. Brutal blade looks like a clumsy overhead slash, and I don't see any way rift slash can even do damage because I'm not sure where our the most damaging part of the swing is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthonor.4061 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I play Norn, and I agree. Said this since day one. The sword skill animation don't feel powerful animation wise. Yeah numbers are one thing, but Animation are something, unlike stats, never change. Much rather trade warrior sword animation for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroud.4683 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Seriously right? Those are some awesome animations too, but they put the war's sword animation with the mace. The attention to detail they put into the rev's animations are so good too, its just the sword AA that makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperLooser.2698 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 very bad indeed, female norn here, sword 2 is weird too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfeather.6401 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I sometimes play staff just for better animations. I know sword does more power damage, but its animations look awkward and unexciting. True story on me sometimes avoiding weapons because of their animations. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done this before too. I've got a power build set up for my rev, but I'm using a mace because those animations look much more satisfying. And the thing is, I know this is a totally doable thing for ANET to do, they've changed animations before. In the case of the ranger, they changed the original kick in sword AA to that spinny sword thing because the animation lock was a huge problem for the rangers. Old Ranger Sword AA: On the other had, ANET has been known to change the animations because of immersion reasons. The human female stretch was removed because they'd do it in the middle of a cutscene and break immersion. (Source: ) Removed Female Stretch Animation: Changing the rev's sword AA is definitely something that would fall under changing an animation for immersion reasons.

TastyTofu.3597 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The animations are worse on asura, it looks like they're having spasms if you attack while moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermaltron.6829 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The #2 and 3 attacks in the auto attack chain really are brutally bad; like someone cut and pasted in animations from other attacks rather than try to give Rev its own style.

Doctor.1384 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 For asura the 2nd attack in the chain is the worst since it is completely disconnected from the first and third attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Lure.5624 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 My problem is not just that it looks awkward, but that the AA chain makes no sense in terms of a fighting flow. It would be a really weird fight where you'd use those moves in a row. You don't really see that on the other swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H O N O.8354 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Well to be honest, its not just the sword animation. I totally agree that the AA chain just doesn´t feel right but it´s not the only one. The hammer AA´s look totally out of place as well. You have this badass looking, powerful character that´s capable of turning himself into mist and summon a giant hammer out of the mist to crush everything. And then he just wiggles his hammer to throw a spinning standard skinned hammer ? Pretty underwhelming and there really is a lot that could have been done here. If the thrown hammer would at least have the appearence of the hammer you are carrying, it wouldn´t be great but at least it would be bearable to watch.

Lahmia.2193 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Anet got it right with Ranger sword auto update. But they totally missed the mark with Rev. Please anet, change it to the default warrior animation, ranger animation or a hybrid like holo sword. It literally puts me off playing sword rev. *for human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger sword animation on a Charr is horrendous! I’d rather have the current Revenant sword animation than that sword flopping.

No idea about charr as I don't play them. Human ranger is so fluid, whereas the revenant is just horribly clunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I find it funny that you ignored that I suggested warrior animation too and went straight for ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianTheAngelic.7054 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 We don’t need new rev autos. Whether or not they’re appealing to someone is completely subjective. It’s a waste of development time, especially since they shouldn’t just copy some other profession’s auto chain and stick it on rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
