Master Strike/Blade Dance animation will go forever? :(

The new animation looks good, but the fact that it replaces the master strike/blade dance animation is disappointing. It was my favorite animation of the Jedi Guardian.

I hate the new animation. I want my old Blade Dance animation back. This new stupid one where I twist kick in the air looks terrible. I'm almost embarrassed to use it. I understand the change so that it's not channeled any longer... but why take out that epic animation? It's not as if this one is that much shorter of an animation.

Although I miss Blade Dance, I think the new ability looks cool.

I kind of wish the tank disciplines got the channeled Blade Dance/Ravage (complete with old animation), and the DPS disciplines got the new Blade Dance/Ravage animations/instant ability. Do juggernaut/guardian tanks really need to be all that mobile? (Well, from a PvE perspective. I have no idea what it's like for PvP.)

 

...that, and I loved the old Blade Dance and Ravage animations. My Vigilance guardian looks neat with the new animation - it fits the rest of his spinny, flippy, set-my-lightsaber-on-fire-and-hurl-it-at-you move set. But my tank guardian looks weird...and not just because his lekku ("head-tails" - he's a twi'lek) go into full-out spaz mode every time he whirls around like a laser-bladed chainsaw.

And my body-type-three tank juggernaut looks like she's breaking her spine in half every time she goes into that awkward flip in Ravage. It's...kinda painful to watch.

I do miss the old animations.

All this just to keep Knights/Warriors from having to stand still.

 

Why not just make Blade Dance/Ravage useable on the move?

 

I don't like it.
