Spear throwing animation is dull...

Rapid shot but repeating the dull motion. If the character sometimes turn the spear around and then throw it, it will be much better.

I notice more than he's pulling spears out of nowhere than the fact the animation is repetitive?

Can we get spear holders / quivers for paragons and rangers please? People have been asking since Ch. 1

Firstly, nice avatar btw. 'Vampires' from D&D Monster Manual right?

I got that book sitting in my bathroom (probably more than you wanted to know... lol).

As for quivers, i think that's an awesome idea, personally.... even if the animation wasn't sync'ed up exactly for them to be pulling out a 'new' arrow or spear from them, just them 'having' the damn quiver would add alot to the "suspension of disbelief" aspect that any fictional creation tries to employ.

make quivers visible only when not showing the cape or it will look silly.

Give the damn bows a visible string pls!

As for the lances, there is no such thing as a 'spear holder'

Wand and staff animation is boring, but no one complains about those -_-"

OMG THERES NO SUCH THING AS DRAGON MAKE US FIGHT ONLY REAL CREATURES! It's only a game, it isnt real, and frankly who cares where the spear comes from? Maybe it's the same one but on a string ^^ It would be cool to the arrows sticking in foes, though ;P

There's many ways you can swing a sword/axe/hammer. But there's only one way that you can shoot a bow or launch a spear.

QFT.

Unless you're trying to hurt yourself and not the enemy.

It has like three, and why would you want to throw a spear or shoot a bow different. You don't turn a gun sideways when you shoot it, and if you do you're not going to be able to shoot accurately.
