Put CM animation back to the SB one

I loved the SB animation for CM it seems it went back to the old holding the hand out one at some recent patch. Please fix kk thks.

It is possible that this was a bugged animation that they are now returning to normal, similar to how Power Thrust from Energy Manipulation temporarily took on the "KA-BOOM" sound effect a while back. I can't say if that was what happened because I honestly don't know, but if it was recently returned to the old animation, it was probably a fix.

Please no. I'd be OK if the SB animation gets added as an option in Power Customization, but I am thrilled it is back to its old glory (while retaining the faster cast time).

Oh, they changed it back to the old one? Ace. I hated the OTT thrust they changed it to. Add it as an option? Sure. More are good. But choice is important.

While I was delighted at the new cast speed, I always thought the SB animation was a bit to jarring for Clear Mind..


I'm personally happy to hear it's back to its older animation (just quicker now).

Would be nice if they did include an alt animation though.

Can someone provide a glossary for the uninitiated? I have no earthly clue what you people are talking about.

Clear Mind used to have a nice passive animation, but it was (IIRC) 3.1 seconds long. At some point in the past year to 18 months, they changed the CM animation to be the same as Speed Boost, which is a speedy 1 second animation. This was a pretty big buff to Empathy, really helping out keeping the buff active, while significantly shortening the opportunity cost.

But I loathed the aggressive animation for the power. While I appreciated the buff, I was not happy with the choice of animation, especially since it had completely the opposite feel as the old animation and because the old animation is not very long, but just had a huge pause at the end. They could have made the same change, shortening the cast time, while keeping the old animation (and flagging only the 1st second of that animation as rooted). And that is now what they finally did.

Thank you devs. I appreciate it very much.

It looks like they kept the Speed Boost-style animation on Enforced Morale (at least while flying). Perhaps the original point was to make EM look a bit more aggressive but since it used the same animation as CM it got overwritten/shared somehow.
