I havn't played my paragon in a while, and noticed the chant has changed? is this just a bug or a glitch?

when you normally use a chant you float off the air and wings spread out.

now it seems the wings do spread out but you don't float off - you do an attacking motion.

is this a bug or has it been changed to this?

It depends on what character you use it with.
Atleast I think that's what you mean o.O.

What weapon is he equipped with? o.O

EDIT:

Just tried all weapon combo's on a male para, and the floating occured on all of them.
So weapon isn't the issue here.

yeah it doesn't matter what wweapon i use. For example, try using signet of return. Instead of floating, mine stays on the ground and does nothing but the spell casts anyways

Double post :P
Probably due to the daily lock-up of the forum.

But hmm... are you sure you are on a para?

It depends on the cast time, you wont do full cast animations sometimes if it is to be cast quickly.

For example, i cast fire attutnement on my ele, she floats into the air and spreads her arms out etc. If i cast something like flare, or another skill that is 1 second or less she just does an attack stance and casts it.

If you are talking about your skill changing (it used to do this and now it doesnt) maybe it has been bufed to cast quicker??

No, Chants are not changed.

Maybe someone used an essence to reduce time?
