It would be nice (maybe even a bit fair
) if the female rangers are able to get a vertical bow animation too. p.s. I know it's a minor thing, but perhaps other rangers feel the same way?
It has always been weird seeing a bow being shot sideways...
Female Ranger Bow Attacks
Some Guru Named Kai
This has been a pet peeve of mine for quite some time, and that is that the female rangers only have 1 bow attack animation. When shooting an arrow, the female rangers will hold their bows sideways to shoot. While the male version gets a sideway and vertical bow animation.

But female rangers' boobs jiggle when they fire....
Every time i lag
they maybe only have one
but i like that one =p

At least their animation doesn't make them look like they have a broken pelvis like the male animation.

Female is better
Leave my girl alone or change the male one instead if you want them to match.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!
I had noticed that, but as long as the attack animation looks good, I really don't care how many different ones there are.

I agree, who shoots a longbow sideways anyway?
I don't think it's supposed to fly that way.

there's 2 reasons why the female ranger shoots with the bow horizontally. if you don't know them by now, wait until you're 13 and you'll figure it out
the only variation the male has is pin down/crippling shot and the female is the same (which includes crouching downwith the horizontal bow). the fancy glowy crap is the same for each.
casters are the only ones that get different animations based on cast time. it would be sweet if rangers had more. i think sins have only 2 animations as well. warriors get a few it seems (something two swings for a single attack) and dervishes also have a couple extras. paragons i think just have one.
and yes, i'm sure you're over 13...that was just a joke, btw

Amazons
The Greek variant of the name was connected by popular etymology to a- (privative) + mazos, "without breast", connected with an aetiological tradition that Amazons had their right breast cut off or burnt out, so they would be able to use a bow more freely and throw spears without the physical limitation and obstruction; there is no indication of this practice in works of art, in which the Amazons are always represented with both breasts, although the right is frequently covered. - Wikipedia
I was aware of this theory before, but wiki saved me typing it out.
Curse You
Any archer would be able to tell you about this. My archery coach (school archery if you're wondering) is a woman, and she always mentions this fact to the girls. I myself being male, I don't worry about it.

Well, I think this case is close.

Anet must have researched all this before, imagine being told in the meeting "dave I want you to look up archery and see how girls shoot their bows, I have a feeling their boobs might get in the way"
Another attack anim of a different sort, perhaps.?

they're called breasts, thus the animation. if the girls were amazons and removed their right breast they would do the vertical animation.
but i think vertical shooting for longbows etc, horziontal shots for shortbows. or leave it as is. no gripe here.

You try shooting a bow with C sized breasts TY.
Very uncomfortable. Held sideways to compensate with
physical features. Play a male ranger.
Nuff sed.

Next thing we should ask for is to be able to remove the right breast of our female rangers so she can have more animations.
mazey vorstagg
Or they could just have smaller breasts..
Plus some leather armour so no harm is done

Equip a bow on a female caster like an elementalist for example, and you'll see that the first shot fired has her holding the bow vertically not sideways.

Rangers and Warrios have few casting animations...
It would be cool that animations were related to the skill, not to the profession, and looking a Warrior 'flying' while casting Meteor Showers, XD.
