Celestial Warhammer

So I decided to dust off my Warmace user, who has the Celestial Warhammer, and quickly noticed something quite odd...



Now, I'm pretty sure the hammer had a much shorter handle last I played, and after going through a few character creation tests, it is also elongated in creation. I then checked the forums for a picture to assist, and as per this picture made in an old post, it shows that the handle has indeed grown significantly.

Was this some sort of secret adjustment made, or is it just a bug?

I surmise that they changed the handle length, and where you hold it is moved down, to avoid the axe part "cutting your shoulder off" when you attack.

Axe animations have had this problem....forever. War mace shares the axe animations, so it has the same issue.

Call it a "stealth fix".



Edit:
They may have also done this to be able to port it to Titan Weapons, later if not already.

I see. It just looks really weird to me. XD

Lots of people asked for the hammers to be bigger and I think there was mention of them being scaled in a recent patch.
