With possible graphic redo of classes
In reference the the new sorc effects http://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/2872/new-graphics-about-sorc-revealed/p1 I came to the realization that other classes may also get a graphic rework. This brings 2 concerns to my attention.
1. Will each class get a effects that fit them. Like why would warriors need bright and flashy animations, when something like a bloodloss theme would fit them much better. Like you are literally making the boss weaker. Slayer's could use a mix of gore and crushing effects. A beserker thunderstrike would literally make a crater in the earth depending on charge. An archer radient arrow actually feels like it does the immense damage it does. Like right now its a tiny arrow, imagine if it is similar to a giant soul arrow in dark souls which makes sense because archer in this game are magic archers.
2. This game needs to not lag insanely if these are implemented. At the moment I literally have all the effects for brawler and gunner turned off to make playing with multiple of them in a party bearable. Reaper isn't as bad as them but still. With this 30 man raid the last thing we need is more lag.

In the end the game looks pretty good anyways.
Look at ninja. They're the first new class that's not flashy af, and their animations still look pretty nice. A few skills from older classes here and there could use updating, but we don't need flashy skills on older classes in general. Sorc just needed it because they were really lacking for a class that's supposed to be throwing fire and ice.
If you really want that make sure to ask for a button in settings to turn those off.
Keep dreaming.
O_O Now I REEEEEEALLY want this.
