I noticed that the spellcasting animation for the Assassin has been changed.
It did before look rather like the Assassin was punching at the ground.... striking down a smoke-bomb or something. It was kinda cool.
Now he crouches and it looks like he is tying his shoe-laces... Definitely NOT cool.
What gives?
Are there any other animation changes that anyone is aware of?
Animation Changes.

Maybe they accidentally swapped the Ranger's prep/trap animation and put it on the assassin? *cant check right now*

Some 1/4 casts on my monk have changed. When I cast Healer's Boon he performed the animation as if it was a 2 second cast, but because it's a 1/4 second cast it looks like he's hopped up on caffeine.

Searing Flames, Sandstorm, and Savannah Heat have changed too. Now tha animation is like i'm casting an ench on myself. I think this is a bug though.

Ye, same for the monk. When i am casting word of healing, it seems I am casting a party heal, like lod/heal party, or an enchantment, but the animation of orison of healing and other healing spells are just normal.
Probably a bug, yes.

Every elementalist elite have their animation bugged, maybe some of the other classes too
Brianna
Errr.. yeah.. Mind blast does the insta/enchantcast thing to, which is really disturbing actually, I'm just hoping this is a bug I'm sure that it is.

The Necro spell FOC also shows the self-targetted animation. It's very annoying. I never realized how much I depend on the animations to tell me what I cast (e.g. if my fingers slipped or something) until this bug.
Star Alfur
Spiteful Spirit also has this "self-cast" animation ... I'm finding it to be very annoying and makes me think I've hit the wrong skill. >_<
Erik Fox
I thought the skill changes were just mix-ups of the different skill emotes.....After Order of the Vampire you /clap .... ergh!

No problems with ranger animations that i could find.

Mr Toraan
ZB looks like I'm casting it on myself as well
Sir Skullcrasher
I haven't checked yet, will do tonight and see what animation got changed!
WarKaster
no offense to anyone but does the animation really matter so long as the skill does what it should?
Rogue Dragon
Ya the OoV animation is stupid. (Yay, im gona clap after i cast i skill because i did it so well) Change it back and leave it be. There was no need for changes. Hopefuly this update is a late april fools joke. (cept for the storage thats nice)

it's rather strange. When i cast divert hexes on target ally, it acted like I'm casting heal party/lod. It's rather strange thou....I personally don't like it this way. Not sure about the other professions...

Also Blinding Surge has change to as if your casting a attunment.

Binding Rituals now look like a typical Rit spell animation.
And of course the animation matters. Why shouldn't we expect to see our character preform their actions correctly?

My assassin has the really gay trap activation on Assassins promise no less! I liked the old animations. give them back!
EDIT: Palm strike looks pretty funny now lol. looks like the Shoe-tie of doom!

ZB is casting like you're casting it on yourself (or that of a party-wide spell), and it keeps making me think I'm healing myself.

Water Trident is RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up. It looks like i am doing a fire attunement lol.

on my monk when I cast zb on an ally it looks as if I am targeting myself.
With my ranger apply poison looks like I was using troll.

the ranger animations are backwards, traps they do the thing like they are summoning a spirit and vice versa.

Add divert hexes to that list, it looks like I cast it on myself.
Something else I noticed and posted about in the dev track forum thread, but only because someone else said something about it, has anybody else noticed an issue with energy? Specifically being a monk?
My energy frequently seemed like it was not displaying correctly last night. My bar was showing 37 energy and when I tried to cast divert, it told me I didn't have enough energy. Then I went from 42 energy to 9 in an instant, for what appeared to be no specific reason. The people I was playing with last night convinced me I was either crazy, or sucking at life... but someone else experienced it too, I guess. Anybody else?

Signet of Judgement to the list, as well.
I think it is mainly Elites.

Most skills have this, except attack skills.
I noticed it when using a ranger prep, it should have been the shoe-lashes-tieing-animation, but it instead was the Make-a-circle-with-your-arms-animation, bummer, liked the old one.
Probable just a bug, will be fixed soon( I hope)

When i order my necro to move just after he finishes casting Animate Flesh Golem, instead of running he's floating over ground for about 1 second, with his body frozen in the last sequence of spell animation. He looks like a drunken Mursaat, LOL.
moriz
just checked with my ranger. the "crouch down and tie shoelaces" animation seems to be completely gone, and replaced by the "are waving" animation. looks pretty good, though.
Free Runner
Yep it seems Ranger preps use the same animation as Troll Unguent. Heal As One however uses the preperation/spirit casting crouch (whereas if i'm not mistaken with a hammer it should be the Ranger just raising the hammer into the air)
I liked my old Prep animation......
