So the first "pass on new rogue animations" has taken effect and I am rather disappointed. Wicked Strike and Lacerate are now BOTH the same animation as auto attack except they have movement streaks. If they are working on other new animations it would have been nice to just keep the old ones!

The old Wicked Strike in particular was awesome! I liked the reverse grip on the daggers and the whole spin thing that the character did. I really miss that one. I would like to see it come back if not an improved version of it.

I hope that they continue to work on animations using the reverse grip on the daggers at least 50% of the time. I like seeing the character switch grips back and forth throughout a fight.

On the plus side there is now an animation for blinding flash which is really cool. They did a good job putting the smoke in the eyes of the enemy. Ravage is halfway decent.

On a side note about movement streaks, I think they can be good if they are subtle. The current red ones are a little too much for my tastes but this is a very minor gripe.

My rogue is only level 11 right now so I can't comment on animations that come in beyond that.

Any other thoughts on this?
