Aimed shot animation gives me a headache

[OldGamer.2986]

Please change the animation, I know the rifle needs a lot of other changes but changing this isn't difficult or time consuming at all (well, I don't know how their engine works, in unity it would be easy and pretty fast) since the animation already exist. No clue why people in the animation department came up with the idea to use a shotgun/blunderbuss animation (not precise at all) for a skill with the title "aimed" on it...

 

How aimed shot looks like now:


 

how it should look like:


 

I know the issue could be casting time and the animation would take too long maybe but you could still swap ability 1 with 2 and would still look better than now.

Hey, at least warriors can switch between **two** rifle animations. Engineers only use one!

[OldGamer.2986]

Better few animation and do it right than a lot and do it wrong. Variety in range weapon animations is always a bit more difficult task, since it's only aim and pull trigger/bowstring back, not as fancy as melee moves.

Just rename the skill..

In many ways i wish this skill was split into 2 shots, first gives cripple, 2nd gives Vuln. or the other way round. then call the skill 'Double Tap'

 

Aimed shot does seem odd for eyes at the crutch .. unless there is something anet doesnt want us to know! O_O

Actually, swap Aimed shot from warrior with Hip shot animation from engineer. It Always bugged me to see hip shot being aimed, and aimed shot being hip shotted.

On which race? Hip Shot is fired from the hip on both female sylvari and asura.

Strange, on charr it's reversed between the two shots

 

Edit : Nvm, seems that has been addressed at some point, although Aimed shot is still a hip shot on charrs
