Customizable Casting Animations

Community General Discussion

I’ve requested this in the past, and I apologize for insisting, but I would LOVE to be able to customize my characters’ casting animations.

For example, female Night Elves casting Arcane Blast. I HATE the following animation:

I would be thrilled if I could change it to the following one:

I acknowledge this isn’t important, and that this isn’t a priority right now. I don’t mind waiting, but I would love to hear from devs saying they might look into this possibility, and offering us several new or different casting animation options for each race/class.

You are totally right! They should not only add new casting animations, but
animations in general - new walk, dance, laugh, clap, etc. animations would bring such diversity to the game. I love this!

I’m sure it’s right over there alongside the dance studio.

Human females don’t even dance anymore because it’s so outdated. Seriously, the only thing the dance does is remind everyone how old the game is or how old you are for knowing what the heck it is.

I’m not sure if the rigs in this game are super difficult to do various motions for or if Blizzard is just lazy. Either way, there are a ton of different animations that need to be added to the game and/or updated.

Edit: I’m tired of bringing up FF14 everytime something like this comes up. Seriously, how many dances, emotes, and animations does that game have?

It will be cool if we get the old ones back and also model cause now everyone cast the same way or i mean every class

Sure, although I’m not confident that could happen :sweat_smile:

But sure, the more options, the merrier

I would LOVE different animations for all races too. I think that, to differentiate themselves from Blood Elves, Void Elves should have their own set of animations. To differentiate Night Elves from Nightborne, give them their own set of animations as well.

I think giving us the option to select different animations for Void Elves and Nightborne would be fantastic! Another great way of differentiating these elves and making them unique to each faction.

Great idea! :slight_smile:

I am absolutely in love with the holy paladin book casting animation.

They need to make more animations of that quality, class based.
