Noticed this during the stress test I thought it was one of the cooler things that shouldn’t of been removed. Not sure when it was removed in retail but i know for sure it was in classic :(. Bring it back!!

What?

I didn’t try it (I tend to rebind the Z) but that’s something that has to be fixed IMMEDIATELY.

I know it is small but made the human dance sweet when you pull out a big hammer mid dance

And when the Undead female waves her hands in front of her with two swords, barely avoiding slicing her own neck.

Definitely fun to see, but my recollection was that even though the character would pull their weapon mid-dance, it used to snap back to the sheathe after a second or two.

Yeah that’s why you spammed the button.

I recall on my Night Elf it kept the weapon out without spamming the button.

Sometimes it would go back sometimes it wouldnt. I just wish the top posts on classic were not about streamers and junk all the time instead of Classic bugs.

Unfortunately, dancing with a weapon seems like a bug that was ultimately corrected. So we’re in essence asking them to duplicate a bug from before.

They duplicated spell batching which was a bug so why not this.

The male night elf dance with a stave equipped was mesmerizing. It was my go to time waster while waiting for boats in Menethil

I don’t think spell batching was a bug so much as an artifact of the server architecture or some such. But it’s still a good point that they reverse-implemented it (in essence making the modern architecture more clunky, as it were). I think the issue here is that they would program the ‘z’ command to work while dancing, but then program it to behave as a bug- in essence, randomly putting the weapon away again as it behaved in Vanilla.

It was changed around 2014. I don’t think it was a bug though. I thought it was one of the most useless changes though

must be fixed. how else will i know if naked night elf on mailbox is afk or not if they arent sheathing/unsheathing?
