Hammer Attack Animations

Okay, now that Magehunter Smash is an unconditional knockdown (and a GREAT buff, I might add), can the animation for the skill get changed to an overhead smash like other unconditional KD's? Right now it's still a lateral swing animation, and looks out of place.

While you're at it, Crude Swing has an overhead Smash animation, when it should be a circular swing, like Whirlwind Attack. I guess Anet could just switch the arbitrary animations for Crude and Magehunter, and both problems would be solved in one swoop (pun intended )

Warriors get shafted for cool animations, at least make Hammer attacks look right

Agreed, the Magehunter's Smash's animation is a big disappointment.

Overhead smash ftw

I've always wanted to see my Warrior crack someone on the head with an Hammer...

Makes it really hard to know when to activate Shield Bash or Dark Escape in RA, but otherwise i have no problem with it. But if others do then yeah would be nice I guess

i like the magehunters animation it looks like ur wacking them in the face wit ur hammer i love it

Hmm... I rather good point

Would be rather easy. They don't even have to create a new animation, just steal one from another skill like Crude Swing or something.

This threw me off so much I missed with my dw

This needs changing.

Magehunters animation looks crap

I take it the mods didn't appreciate me joking in a /signed post. :P

Anyway, yes, please change Magehunter's at least. First time I ran it I thought I hit the wrong button. First time I ran against it I wondered what knocked me down. Consistency is ftw, just change the character animation, leave the weapon FX alone.

/signed. And also enthusiastic for backbreaker animation.

and there is no reason for anyone to disagree

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they change the animation in an update a week ago?
