Is not as fluid or aesthetically pleasing as the old one in 1.5. In the new animation, the caster appears to be terse and stiff as if suffering from some sort of abdominal pain.
I'm kinda fond of the new animation -- doesn't waste as much time with 'swirling' his staff around to start the attack...just simply shoots a freaking beam into the target.
I like the new animation better than the twirley stick version we have now.

Hey you had the balls to give your feedback and that's good enough for me.
You didn't just complain, you gave valid reasons. Never feel ashamed of your opinion.
I don't care for the new staff animations in general, but I don't hate them. What I do like is that (at least for restoration) we stand "leaning" on the staff. However, we look rather uncomfortable doing it, with our feet awkwardly apart and arm crooked out to the side.
I'd love to see us get the same animations as the Prophet has, where we stand with the staff in hand in a relaxed posture, and WALK LEANING ON IT, as he does (for BOTH staves). Of course, the running animation is fine as it is.
