I am still in shock over how bad this change is. The addition of those bizarro clown sparkle armwarmers(may only be for rapid strikes but...why?) is also confounding. It's slow and awful and painful to use.

To me it says that ZOS is done putting effort into making ESO a better game. If they going to do something this lazy and universally disliked, I don't know how we can interpret it any other way.

It's just bizarre to see because if you're not going to actually make something decent/unique/new, why bother changing it at all? I don't recall hearing much from templars about thinking anything was wrong with the original animation.

It, and the Flurry change, has to be performance related. Why else would they downgrade the animation? Which is curious because they are usually all over telling us about every little performance buff.

Yet another head scratching decision from this team. Perhaps they will tell us in the promised Q&A, but we would be foolish to expect that.

I don't think ZoS actually saw it as a downgrade, and how can it be a performance related change when the other spear skills still use the old model and Isobel still uses the old spear puncturing sweep model? I think the devs genuinely believed we'd be happy that the skill had as new clear model with more definition but it's obvious that the devs "missed the mark" as devs like to say when they screw up.
