WAR (Warhammer Online)

I was only able to find 1 video of a Shadow Warrior in action, and I can't recall what stance he was in, but do SW's seriously lean back so dramatically for every shot? I really really wanted to play a SW, but not if it looks stupid like that everytime I shoot. Please someone make me feel better and say that is not the default animation for the default attack.

Not the default but does often happen. I am curious about this personally. From what I saw (I played an SW) the longer the shot the more likely the 'lean back'. Some of the animations/effects were bugged in the last patch so I don't know if any observation is accurate. Goodness knows I was sometimes shooting directly at my allies in a group and the arrow ended up going over my shoulder to hit an enemy behind me. THAT was mildly disconcerting.

lol, yeah i see what your saying every vid i see he leans back for every shot.

but in close range he uses a sword, or tries to gain more range to get more shots off  so it kinda fits.

all tho I saw i skill were he can shoot & move at the same time (skill where he moves while shooting more than once i think) & he didnt have  that gay elfy animation (i hate light elfs) dont take my word on it though.

saw it on youtube, def got good DPS the shadow warrior, I look foward to killing alot of you 

sry high elfs, not light elfs

shadow warrior looks pretty light tho, he could do with a few pies

he needs cake.

Let me explain!

Scout path = retarded animations

Skirmish = FTW a la legolas running while shooting arrows

assault = not using bow much, but pretty much same animations as skirm

and yeah, the animations for scout and skirmish are totally different. Scout is the retarded 'shooting up at the stars' animation (which is bugged imo, because even if you're using a scout path ability and shooting at someone below you, you'll STILL not aim your bow downwards (if you ssee what i mean). Skirmish abilities are like how Hunters shoot arrows in WoW.

A lot of the animations are being fixed/updated for the next phase of beta. 

If SW will be part of that fix, who knows, but they are working on fixing the broken animations.  And I would consider the SW animations broken.

I can only hope.... it's my only hope left.... I'm sorry but I can't stand playing that character if it's going to do that rediculous animation every time I use a special. Not even based on distance from enemy.
