So..... warlocks get our visual flare and spells given to mages and demon hunters...... we don't get visual improvements to casting animation, our class mount is just ANOTHER DREADSTEED that can fly........ our alternate demons are glyhps that go from 2 K to 15 K gold on the AH....... and we still don't have the fel shards glyph implemented yet......
:( honestly this is just really, really, really freaking mean and sad for us :(

Void Torrent is supposed to "raise your dagger to the sky" in the flavor text...

I love these but I am in agreement with the complaint that casters are not using their weapons. Like why bother even having a staff? Is it just a walking staff now? XD the weapons do not have to be major but at least for one or two spells per class, they should be using their weapons.

God the new spell animations and effects themselves are gorgeous, but those idle animations look stupid enough it's going to put me off playing my Mage and make me want to respec my Druid if I find myself seeing them often...

Now we have to wait for Warlock animations... Oh and Worgen and Goblin models, I'm sure they'll hold them back until they're finished with Locks.
If Arcane Mage spells are firecracker explosions in their fantasy, Warlocks will have Fel Nukes, can't wait to see!

I still lament how caster animations are still about waving your hands around while your weapons are either hanging in your belt or on your back. Especially when weapons played such a big role in Legion with artifacts. It is not a conduct of your power, but rather trinkets, passively increasing your power like a ring or an amulet.
Half the specs only use weapons for their artifact ability, and the others don't wield the weapon at all.
I know it would be hell to program, with the sheer number of different weapon types casters can use. You don't use one and two handed weapons the same way, nor things like a mace or a dagger. And not all weapons of the same type are the same size, so where would you attach particles and beams and stuff?
So yeah it would suck to make. But a man can dream.
EDIT: Damn, late to the party. Didn't see all the other comments about it.

I am so bloody excited! I take back my earlier mark-my-words comment. This is precisely what I wanted for my casters. /dance

The problem would be that you either have to use your weapon(s) for ALL of your spells, or NONE. Having one cast unsheathe your weapon and the next one sheathing it again (rinse and repeat) would look quite silly. The alternative would be either just unarmed animations that also work when holding a weapon, or completely different casting animations for sheathed/unsheathed - both requiring a lot more work (assume Blizzard is thinking past Legion artifacts and still want every spell to be castable with 2H/1H+offhand and different weapon types)

Idle animations are shown while in combat only.

That's fairly obvious

My only problem with these animations is that every race now uses the same. You are no longer a for example blood elf mage, no first and foremost your are a mage.
Same thing happened with melee animations. Blizzard is all about homogenization these days. Everyone has to be the same.

You mean like them making my Templar's Verdict look like a friggin auto-attack?

What a great time to play WoW! Now all we need is more character customisation and to bring back the "World" feeling.

Can Blizz just optimize the game's engine? So tired of fps losses even having a decent machine.
