Hi,
I noticed this on my Pandaren warrior recently, their combat animation for sword and board changed, this happen with anyone else? Seems a neat change, shields should have their own animations.I am in full support of this. It helps dual-wielding have its own identity and makes much more sense than some of the ways characters held shields before--female blood elves held the shield completely behind them and human males squared up and held their shield at the side.
The old one was more racially appropriate to their type or martial art, which was supposed to be visually reflective in all their other classes. Takes away a lot of the flavor from the race. But then again, you hardly ever see any race's unique racial animations anymore. So what's one more being lost in the eventual deluge.
Thanks!
