The new casting animation are disgusting

Am I the only one who just find the new casting animations completly disgusting? Can we just have something to disable them? As someone who plays Resto/Elem and SP, it’s painful to watch my character.

“Disgusting?” What a strange word to use in this situation.

Elemental Shamans have some of the prettiest casting animations in the game. The new animations, that is.

Resto Shaman… I’m not super familiar with. But I know the Mass Rez animation is idiotic.

Well, the spells looks cool but the wierd casting animation on lava burst is painful to watch and wtf is going on with the flying casting on shadow priest. I don’t know, I just wanna puke looking at them.

All the races had their own casting animation and stuff that looked nice and cool and now it’s just the same animations on all classes, lost flavor to the game, looks terrible, I just wish there was an option so we can go back.

Try playing a Pandaren. All the casting animations look garbage. In fact their melee animations look like garbage as well. This is WoW, not FF14.

I hate the new affliction casting animations. A couple of them look like I’m trying to claw the MoBs eyes out with my fingers from a distance.

Its embarassing

I find the casting animations for both ele and resto to be delightful. Especially with how the water swirls with resto spells.

Thought I was the only one honestly. I actually hate everything about Affliction this expansion from the way it plays to how it looks and sounds.

I kinda like them cause they look ridiculous, like were in a Ren and Stimpy cartoon all the sudden. :slight_smile:

I don’t know what’s disgusting about it… so explain por favor (Please)? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Oh. I know what your talking about. I do agree it is the same exact animation for every race. I would’ve liked more variation on those newer animations for each any every race. This goes to the melee attacks too.

In the event if you do meant every class and not ever race on that last point you made there, the old animations did reuse animations for each spells/attacks and what not across classes. DK Water walking uses the SpellOmniCast Animation, which tied to Rejuvenation spell druids have at one point before the newer animations. This sort of thing still does happen with the newer animations.

Have you seen the Mind Flay animation in Voidform? You hold your arms out like a zombie. It’s terrible.

Because doing that with both hands but only having 1 beam come out of one of your hands TOTALLY made much more sense. If you want Classic style Casting Animations, Classic is there waiting for you.

Personally I love the new shaman and druid casting animations

More than casting animations, I hate some of the new spell graphics.

I want my green Druid Wrath spell back.

Two things I refuse to forgive for any reason - Blood DK being a tank spec. and druid Wrath looking like a holy spell.

This bothers me too. Not a fan of the animation updates, generally. Feels way too generic.
