It has been a long time since Micah last time managed to stab me, but with this new stab... it is just like stabbing the ground in native. That is how it looks and how it works. It may miss fluidity of the old lolstab but it is long enough and fast enough (way faster than old cRPG lolstab). Will respec to 2H to try it out myself. Think that buffing stabs is now out of the question.
I stabbed you three times or so in a row (edit:and you did not even die!) ... this has nothing to do with 2h animation being bad ... more like you being 2tired2play (it was like 3o'clock in the morning) or not being adapted to the animation. Its not so hard to recognize. I would really give it all a bit more time to let the new style sink into peoples heads, its WAY to early to tell what is really good or bad about the animation (we have at least a good part of the community being infavor for keeping it).

Anyways, BlackBow, stop fucking derailing the poll and advertizing for your cause against the official voting like that ... Haters voted to keep it? You mean, you did? ... there are not so many haters as you say - only the bigmouth forum-cry-babies make it appear as if it where hundreds! It needs a really mad kid attitude to do that - and in the end i dont believe that there are so many of those (maybe only you) ... and stop fucking doing it in this snarry high voice with french accent in this this volume!
ok ok so about new 2h stab :
pro :
+ look sexy as fuck
what else do you need than having a really sexy animation as a reason to keep it really ? Nothing really! If it has no other big issues ...
+ it can be pretty effective at times ...
cons :
- innacurate (personnaly i dont rly see where go my stabs and i do it in kind of random way, maybe its me and have to get used to it)
Its a new animation... after a while people will have adapted to it and, who knows, will possibly even use it more effective than the old one ... then ol'good 2h-stab-QQ will be what people cry about ...
- sometimes stabs are kinda instant look like having no animation
what? please show me that! It never happened to me, and i play alot 2h. Also, if it was like you say, it can surely be fixed ... its a non-issue, conmsidering, that the animation just was integrated and things like that can be fixed.
- stab feint then do swing make the animation kinda glitchy and hard to block for opponent
i heared noone complaining about the same thing for polearms .. but they do it since the begining of time (cRPG time)...
alos , again NEEDS TIME TO ADAPT for people!
- look like having less range than before and compare to 1h stab it look rly less effectiv.
really ... before patch everyone crys about abusable 2h stab range ... now its to short ... I play 2h(sword) alot .. i find it all pretty ok
so please before taking a decision about keeping it or revert it
keep in mind than many haters are voting to keep it coz it's a kind of huge nerf of 2 handers (and proof than its rly less effectiv and wierd)
and this community always loved see their nemesis class getting nerfed or fucked.
You simply can not prove it! Thus you cant use it as an argument! NOT EVEN IF YOU DO IT IN CAPS FOR A THOUSAND TIMES!
and i still dont get why it have to be changed....
Maybe, just for the sake of change ? maybe just for the "sexy as fuck" look ? Maybe for not having hands pass through each other in the animation? for physical impossible body pose of the old animation?
Please Senni_TI: Keep the new animation at least for .. some months ... its the best thing you did with the patch ... Its good enough to make 2h play to a whole new experiance, something this community needs, something you will be remembered for if it stays - not remembered if it goes away. After some time and after fixing some minor issues, i think its all worth it!
