    No I don´t want a change.
    The old one is less detailed, the new one is ugly and the motif doesn't reflect the lore behind the spear.

    I prefer the old one.

    I would like well enough to be left alone, personally. They wouldn't change the new one to look like the old one because they made the change because they didn't feel the old animation was compatible with the balance changes made to the skill. If they were to change these for consistency, they'd just make the other old skills look like the new. And I do not care for the new one.

    Old version, I would be open to any changes that made it look better but completely changing it seems odd.

    I would wholeheartedly take the old spear design…and the old animation for jabs/sweeps.

    If you vote yes you want a change are you wanting all three to look like the new, all three to look like the old or maybe just want something purple?

    My point is, something has to happen with the spear animations in general. If you ask me, I would like to get the old model back. Others might prefer the new spear. But it looks odd, if one spear is differet as the rest. The set has to match.

    Don´t really interest me.
    I thought the original design was fine, never understood why they felt the need to muck with it in the first place.

    That said I'm voting indifferent.
    A change back is yet ANOTHER change in a recent wave of changes that seemed to have little point while general in-game performance is still not great and very inconsistent.

    I reeeeally hope Q3 & 4 this year bring BENEFICIAL changes to game performance, leave aesthetics for later once the experience is stable.

    This is in my opinion one of the most frustrating changes to a skill thats been around since 2014.

    Please provide some clarity on this Dev's. The inconsistency of the skills drives me nuts.

    The old one was fine but dated. The new one should have been done better. But imo all spear skills should use same or similar styles. They should be consistent with each other.

    It's the small model as a motif about evil

    Templar never really been evil in any lore though

    I guess one could roleplay a chaotic/lawful evil/good vamplar character... a sort of Jekyll/Hyde or Bele/Lokai type. Seems like quite a lore outlier, though. The artist most likely didn't consider the background of the magical stave when appropriating it as a piercing weapon, although I'm sure management signed off on it, too, which makes it even more curious.

    Definitely puzzling. And numerous requests for clarification have been met with silence.

    In my opinion it stretches belief that a templar would use a magical spear of a necromancer. The skills animation should be updated away from this.

    It's good that people keep bringing this issue up. Using a night hollow stave as a templar spear animation was just bizarre and lazy. And why that weird digging motion? This was one of the most inexplicable and random changes ZOS has ever made.

    Whats most difficult about this has been the absolute silence by the dev's on the matter. They could put alot of clarity into the situation by stating their satisfaction level with the changes.

    -Does it bug them that the templar aedric skill line spears look different? We don't know
    -Have they done a second look after seeing the strong backlash to the animation updates? We don't know, not even a 'working as intended' level reply
    -Is a new update to the animation, or reverting just out of the question, like class changes? They won't say.

    These sort of answers would go a LONG way to resolving this.

    I don’t really play templar so I’m neutral. That said, the old jabs animation is the only reason I played Templar… so…

    The animation should similar to Perforate spear skill in New World.
    The speed of the skill doesn't match the sound it makes either.
