Yes.
But since I only use it as an IO mule, it doesn't bother me too much.
Yes, it does animate incorrectly. Oh, and Solun, Pulse Rifle attacks do decent damage in PvP Environments. Enough so I'd "suggest" taking thm at the higher levels if possible (gonna PM you that Robots/Poison guide in a little bit. It's stranger format than mids, but I don't really use that rpogram honestly).
This seems to animate as the rifle firing, then the damage popping up, then the actual laser coming out a few seconds later.
Does it animate all screwy like that for anyone else?
