THIS is your frustration with the game?

Yeah, thinking the same thing! Been soooo long I cannot remember the old animation, so I voted for the new animation. Try and move on people. Not worth the ulcer.

If you don't care, don't vote 🤷

The new model and animation is bad.
Weird staff, weird sweeping motion, clumsy pop out and in of whichever weapon you are holding when you cast it.
It is bad.

Either old style or yet a new true spear model and ALL spear skills should use the same model!

New one is much easier to see when stacked in a trial.

A miss-communication on my part. I do care as I only play one character and he is a Templar. And I do like the new animation. Found an old animation video and yeah, the new one is better. I am mystified that people are really upset at the new animation, that's all.

I don't understand what people hate about the new animation. But I do wonder what prompted the change.

The one I have now is a shovel.

The old one was animated more like a spear. The new one has that weirdo slap at the end.

I think everyone can agree the effect on the new one is better, but the model and animation definitely are not.

I'll assume most people voting on the new one are only judging by the effect alone, the model on the old one wasn't good either, sure, but at least it wasn't a vampire themed staff, which is completely immersion breaking as we're talking about Templars, pretty much a total opposite thematic.

The new animation isn't terrible either, but not as good as the old one, and looks especially weird when you're weaving, as it stays in your hand when you light attack.

Changes to good old Jabs and Flurry animations would actually make me stop playing if I only had Templar character

I have characters of all classes to keep me entertained for now, but my two Templars barely see any gameplay since those changes.
Magicka Templar sometimes does healing, and I don't use Jabs on her.
Stamina Templar used to be my favorite character for PvP and group PvE. Nowadays she only sometimes does Battlegrounds, and most of time there she spends in werewolf form just so I don't need to see awful new Biting Jabs animation

I stopped using Flurry at all since I saw new animation on live. However, recently I tried a certain PvP build for my Stamsorc which uses Flurry as spammable - and while the build is nice, it feels so bad to observe the silly animation, that I barely do PvP on him

Also, old Jabs not only looked awesome with ray of light - it had powerful vocalization to accompany it:

Old Flurry felt powerful and just awesome with nice vocalization feedback as well:

How I loved this character in action... I hope that maybe one day I can experience it all again

I felt the jabs change more because I had a stamplar in Cyrodiil at the time. I have to admit that Flurry is at least equally bad or worse. I only know because I leveled up a character years ago and picked that skill. It looks and sounds truly awful.
