Alt bow stance

Just a thought. I'm not really sure if it can be done but could the devs make a stance so archers hold the bow downward with an arrow in it. Sorta like this.



Bad pic but from that stance can't you still go into most of the bow attack animations?

New animation thingy for "I've been standing still for a bit, but not long enough to put my weapon away".

New animation thingy so the draw-arrow part of the animation (wait, is that still used anywhere?) doesn't play if coming from the arrow-down animation. Except for RoA, o'course.

Archery gets Blazing and Stunning Shot, and Trick Arrow gets more points.

One new animation for each of: Archery, AR, Katana, one-handed weapon, one-handed weapon and shield, shield, unarmed.

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible with the current tech without re-doing all of the animations (the current animations all have a starting point of "bow held up with no arrow nocked"). That being said, I think that it would be very cool.

EDIT: There's also the problem that only a few powers use a standard arrow.

It still would be a bit cool even without the arrow there.

You don't think it's not possible? So that means you think it's possible?
