Quick Melee

[Magneu]

All the new stances alter the quick melee of said weapon when they're equipped; could it be some sort of side project where every couple of hotfixes we get a few older melee classes getting the same treatment? Would like to stop swatting bees with my Dakra.

Since Dakra Prime has been valuted we won't be seeing much changes to it, just like the boar prime. If your using the Dex Dakra there is a chance we might be seeing changes in animation as the months go by. Don't expect changes like this to happen anytime soon or actually happening, making attacking animations for melee weapons is much more difficult than animations of primary and secondaries.

The request in this thread wasn't for changes to the dakra itself, rather, the popular longsword stance it uses that is famous for its high damage multipliers on the initial combo hits.

Both of you are incorrect; the Dakra example was simply an example. Quick melee at the moment looks terrible and jerky in most cases, and altering quick melee to some or all of the basic equipped combo would look significantly better. The animations are already in place, the only difference is that a separate, antiquated animation set is in place right now for quick melee.

 

Longswords are a  particular offender, as the simple, two hit combo looks horrendous, while both of the current longsword stances flow much better. Another great example is dual swords; the quick melee is super jerky, while the basic equipped combo looks better.
