Reaver animations.

[Minimez]

Just wondering if anyone has a problem with the animation and how to fix it..

Let em explain more about my problem.. Every now and then in between each melle attack my reaver does a fake melle attack. Any ideas on how to sort this problem out will be greatly appreciated.

does ur reaver parry ?, if so don't parry it will fix itself then

 

[Minimez]

I once got asked whether hitting extra fast was a Reaver ability

Something I have noted is that if you are swinging at cap (and Reavers are one of the few tank classes that aim for fast weaps swinging at cap) then the animations go a bit awry. I have gotten used to the fact that what looks to be happening animation wise doesn't always tally with what is reported in the log window.

This happens especially with the parry chain. The animation for Kingsnake and Tigersnake takes too long to act out i.e. you are swinging again before the animation has finished.

Not a problem when spamming levi or using the block chain as the animations all finish in under 1.5 secs.

I think its our parry animation. We have none, so it just plays the last animation again. So while meleeing, you may notice what looks like an extra swing when you parry. But its just you parrying.

yeah ariacs hit the nail on the head, its a know reaver bug and as its not very realistic ( lol @ whips parrying huge mid 2hand hammers ) it will never get fixed.

 

[Skilgannon]

( lol @ whips parrying huge mid 2hand hammers ) it will never get fixed.

Well, if you wanna get all realistic then explain how a Kobold savage/warrior/skald can walk away from being hit by a Highlanders Polearm or Firbolg LW?

Or how a Kobold savage (with claws that are smaller than a Highlander's fingernail) can drop a Highlander/Firbolg?

 

[Minimez]

Ill go with the explanation that im uber and swinging way to fast

 

[Roadie]

kobbies have a tough exo-skeleton and alot of pent up agression imo

Not to mention a damaged moral gland and a tendency towards senseless violence.

 

[Danya]

More LOL at a tiny dagger parrying a huge polearm (which is also possible).

You'd think evade would be more obvious for snakes.

Correct. Most mobs that parry also work like this.
