I've not long returned from a long absence and i've been meaning to post this for a little while, but how long and more importantly why has the animation for 'Clear Mind' been changed from a nice one-armed casting animation to "Here!, let me free you from your bonds BY SHOVING MY PALM IN YOUR FACE !" (also known as Telekinetic Blast).

Thanks in advance.

the animation was changed recently (With GR IIRC) mainly to account for a shorter cast time. It was significantly longer than other similar powers.

Well if you want to RP it a bit, nothing says "WAKE UP" or "SNAP OUT OF IT" more than an open hand slap to the face. :P

It was a patch after GR AFAIK and it helps quite a bit since it took too long to use the power.

It's the same animation as Speed Boost, so it works with my trio of Kin/Emp

I'm not a fan of the slap upside the head/face of CM either ...

I wasn't a fan of being rooted for a significantly longer time. It appears we've arrived at an impasse.

Right on, I haven't played an emp in years but I remember how lame the root time on that power was.

Yeah, agreed. While the current animation looks kind of stupid, I VASTLY prefer it over the old 3+ second animation it used to be. It's sooo much better now. It's a lot more noticeable (at least for me) when doing stuff like STF when you wanna keep CM cycled on all the squishies on your team pretty much for the majority of the TF.

The new animation is so much better gameplay wise so i dont really care how it looks.
I wish they would do the same for thaw and clarity.

I lol'd



I absolutly love the change. Im not rooted in PvP trying to CM my team. Same in PvE though it's not quit as critical.
