The old greatsword anims where beautiful to watch. That flow and style, combined with the raw effectiveness in a crowded situation. Now not so much.
And as for greataxes… they feel poorly executed.
I would say that the new anims for the greatsword, including the brutal ctrl-chop, would be much more suitet for the greataxe… in fact PERFECTLY suited for the greataxe, and the old greatsword restored…
Well, one can dream. But that’s my fifty cent, as they say.
I think the 2h sword animations need sped up.i think it would be better all the way around if that were to happen. Two handers while they may be heaver than the short sword and regular sword shouldn’t be heavy enough to move at such a slow rate. haven’t really used the axe as that’s not really my playstyle. So can’t say much as far as that goes but from watching videos i don’t care for the spinning attack of a 2h ax it should be between the hammer and 2h sword as far as animation/speed and damage goes.
What also seems pretty frustrating about the slow greatsword attacks - NPC’s don’t feel like they suffer from them. They seem to be able to attack with the same haste as always without leaving the big gaps in their pattern.
