I may be wrong but aren't these animations already in game? I see my worgen mage doing the hand movements with ice Lance and fire blast already? Is the new thing that they are added to locks and that's it?
Idk about other classes but those are already like that on live for shamans. There's no change from live to ptr for the shaman spells, at least for my orc.
So animations not even class-specific now? Or i dont understand
Yeah Gearkulaas they didnt finish Warlocks in Legion so they just borrowed some casting animations from shaman to finish it up.
each race was unique in melee combat and casting. now they are all the same. good job blizzard...
The Dots cast looks like Spiderman
Those animations are not the same animations for Lava Burst. Lava Burst makes the player raise both arms simultaneously, not one hand at a time. Though, personally, I wish they were that animation, because it's so much better.
I just really hope they will fix Guardian Druid animations. They are broken since legion mage tower, everything is autoattack and roar instead of what we can see in default skin. Werebear animations are wrong too. I'v reported it many times on PTR and Live but no response. Also I have posted on forums here: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17622613523.
lol... these are literally in game already...
staves are still glued to the back of casters for no reason
I don't get it, my walock already does that animation for both Demonbolt and Hand of Guldan...
LOL at all the people saying its not like lava burst its unique.you got half of it right its not lava burst, its actually the druid cast animations. lock currently uses 2 druid animations for their spells (demonbolt and UA uses one and hand of gul'dan uses another)warlocks waited more than an expac for their new casting animations and they give us animations already in use and expect us to be grateful? if they were gonna give us this from the start why not just give them to us way back in legion? no, the fact is they couldn't think of anything or just didnt and then slapped this together last minute.
I like how the "ready" animation is still the same as Mages, even though all races already have a Warlock specific one. Wth?
