Hey all, I just wanted to start these threads on all class forums, collect information from everybody on what spell/ability animations they miss and would like to see again on live! I plan on collecting information on those animations that seem to be missed the most by each class community and integrating it into a thread that blues can see in BFA Items and Class development. The goal is to try to encourage the game developers to bring back some of these animations through the use of glyphs, that way individuals who prefer some of the newer animations can still enjoy them.
In the end cosmetic effects of these abilities do matter to many players and the aesthetic appeal of certain classes whether it be visuals, sound effects, or both.
I plan on giving all of these threads in the class forums a week before I condense the information into one thread.
Some examples of animations that I miss on my paladin,
Exorcism
Judgement
Templar’s Verdict (MoP) era
Divine Storm pre-Legion

I miss the old howling blast animation.
I wish they would have added the animation as a glyph option for Frostscythe as I’m personally not a fan of that animation. But I don’t think they add glyph options for talents? I could be wrong though.
They did add a glyph option for death grip for different colors on the PTR in legion but it never went live. I remember there was a weird travel time bug. It be nice if they implemented those.

i miss the original unholy blight animation from wrath (black swarm around the DK)
would be nice if the old pestilence animation was baked into outbreak and VP.
the old defile animation, the new one looks like someone spilled used motor oil on the ground.
also the old desecration animation, would be neat if that could be a glyph option to replace chains of ice for unholy.
would like the glyph for walking in wraithwalk back.
would also like the glyph for safe fall with path of frost back.

It’s nostalgic for sure, and desecrated ground with the hands was so cool
