Strange weapon animations

from Elemental Forums

Some of them are really queer, like that super slow rotating cut with a sword.

But the worst must be the spear. Spears are thrusting weapon and their most dangerous part is the tip. You use them to thrust, to impale or run through your opponents, not to "smack" them over the head with the shaft. It's true that the shaft can be used also in combinations, but the main attack with a spear should always be the thrust.

They must have used the staff animation for the spears. Lazy-lazy.

The animations exist, there's 3 special spear animations. The problem is one of them looks like the dude is hitting them with a golfclub or something. The two others look like proper spear thrusts.

PS. You wouldn't be calling the animations lazy if you ever looked at them closely.
