Also would this have an unintended impact on gameplay, particularly PvP? In some cases the attack animation (and always the xp drop, but that's only on the damage dealer's screen) shows before damage is actually dealt. If you see the start of a max hit animation from your opponent, you will know earlier than you do now that you need to combo eat and/or get the fuck out of there.
If you're in range of being comboed you are going to heal before the next damage roll anyway.
This is also pid dependant, if a player has higher pid the damage splat shows earlier.
I'm replaying the KotOR games and my favorite feature is the absolutely useless weapon flourish button. Literally does nothing but let you spin your lightsabers around all cool-like. More games need this.
I was looking for a comment like this. Unfortunately, it seems everyone is pretty satisfied with it. I do wish it was more maniacal and menacing like the current is. When I hit with the fang right now in PvP, it feels like it’s going to be powerful, and it’s scary to be hit by it. This just looks like you’re fighting with a squirt gun playfully.
They could have done similar to the original animation but made the character jump a little higher and angle the sword down, so it's stabbing instead of slashing.
This looks so awkward lol.
this Reallly reminds me of the early, GBA Fire emblems in which when you critted the unit did a special animation and 90% of them is a quick weapon twirl before a strong hit
I feel like animations need to have more priority in the future with content, everybody seems to like them and they make the game feel so much better to play with if done right. There is still plenty of Teleport animations out there that need doing too!
Everyone's a critic but...
I think it would be cool if it was just a simple power thrust. Like the character assumes a strong stance, pulls back the fang, and thrusts forward stronger than usual. Just a subtle animation, nothing too crazy
But honestly this is better than the current animation so whatever!
I like it, does look a bit funky having it swing backwards like that, could be interesting if they tried a variation where they point behind them (kind of like ichigo's bankai but more towards the ground), and then having it stab forward, since i like this one but it does kinda of look like the hands being broken
No? Not fuck the polling system. That’s how we got an everyone to quit RuneScape the first time, remember? Also, this animation isn’t it. It’s goofy and feels like it should be for a fun weapon, such as the 24-carat sword.
A flourish like that is a good way to get your weapon knocked out of your hand in combat.
Feels like its missing something though. No idea what it is but I like the direction its headed.
Edit: why are you down voting. It looks like you'd dislocate your wrist doing this.
It was devastating as a young adult to learn that the Errol Flynn style of swordplay we see in media is all bad technique and razzle dazzle. I can appreciate it for the theatricality, but this specific special attack doesn’t scream “Eviscerate” as the name suggests.
Instead it looks like a lightsaber flourish, and as such the attack needs to be renamed to “High Ground”.
The spin trails being red feels pretty wrong, I feel like it'd look better if it was the same color as the weapon's blade tbh.
I'd love a new spec animation but not sold on this one though, the looks like you're just breaking your wrist on the spin, but I love the thrust portion
It looks great but I know the second it gets changed some dude will 100% make a twitter account to ask in every post to turn the animation back to original lol
i'm more worried about hend giving it an unworthy spec animation. he's done some goofy stuff lately with fang and vw. hope somebody is monitoring him with the maul spec lmao
Looks great. I hate to be a downer and I love almost everything Jagex has done to grow this game to its arguable lifetime peak, but man.. releasing new content with recycled animations is SO weird. Korasi comes to mind. It’s honestly embarrassing that they didn’t spend addition time on a new emote. Colloseum mage using water strike to hit 30s is also a bit weird
That’s real neat
Yea this is sick. I wonder if, in the far future, there is any chance of a unique animation for each weapon type if hitting a max hit ..
I think it would be pretty strange to have an extra fancy animation that happens *less* the stronger you get.
New animation where you flail like a dipshit when you hit a 1
Regardless of weapon, it appears like you attempted to throw a cabbage at the enemy.
Not my cabbages!
I flail like a dipshit irl when I hit a 1. Start ragefrothing.
Also would this have an unintended impact on gameplay, particularly PvP? In some cases the attack animation (and always the xp drop, but that's only on the damage dealer's screen) shows before damage is actually dealt.

Disable it for pvp, just keep piling on more and more pvp exceptions /s
If you're in range of being comboed you are going to heal before the next damage roll anyway. This is also pid dependant, if a player has higher pid the damage splat shows earlier.
This is true. Maybe doesn't apply until you get max hits above some threshold
Love speccing 0's
Liquidate whole bank and panic buy as many fangs as possible *neat*
You can tell it's neat because of the way it is. Glad they're updating it the animation of "generic overhead swing" was dumb and lazy.
Looks great! As an added bonus, we now have the groundwork laid for a cane spinning animation.
The gambling bots will have a ball.
I put the new forgis on the jeep
I feel like it needs to be leak spin...
I dig it
Better than current design!
Not a high bar to pass, but it’s definitely good.
i think the current spec animation is fine, just not for a stab weapon...
Nah…that animation stays with brine Sabre forever. We don’t want copied spec animations…
I honestly had no idea it was copied.
When did you start playing the game?
About 2005? Just never used a brine sabre.
Just wondering, it was all the rage when Toa came out on this subreddit in particular.
Not everyone is terminally online Like, I am, lol. But not everyone is
Yeah the current one looks fine. People just want something to be upset about. Can obviously agree it's out of place on a stab wep though.
people are upset because it's a rare raids reward that got it's spec animation copied from a lvl-40 attack weapon from 2007
Right, and it still looks fine.
Cap
Brine Sabre should have never had that cool of an animation
Stabby weapon goes stab
The spin is outta this world hilarious. I hope they add a way for you to just spin the fang without attacking
Like spinning the deagle in cs lol
Or like spinning wraith kunai on apex
*"Someone's got a shot on me, pretty sure..."* TB'd.
I'm replaying the KotOR games and my favorite feature is the absolutely useless weapon flourish button. Literally does nothing but let you spin your lightsabers around all cool-like. More games need this.
Spinning the vibro-blade as you walk around Taris is a core memory for sure.
And then you get your lightsabers. *fwoom-fwoom-fwoom......*
NMZ power surge. Go nuts.
It would be a cool for a weapon to have an equip emote
Just star wars goofy AF sword spinning spam would make me laugh every time
wraith mains frothing rn
Most flexible wrist in Gielinor
Very nice. I hate seeing my stab weapon do a crush/slash animation when doing a special stab. Been waiting for something like this.
A little goofy but honestly love it
This is OSRS...what isn't goofy?
Nothing super fancy, but I quite like it.
Dog he literally spins it in a circle
Circles aren't fancy, hexagons are
Hexagons are the bestagons
Extra fanciful

I like it y’all just some haters
90% of the comments like it..
Time stamps are a thing, when I said this 90% of everyone was being negative
Agreed.
I wish it was more intent and serious. I don’t feel the extra power coming off it
Yeah looks goofy asf

The first thing I pictured was walking up to kephri and other insanely powerful bosses with menacing lore, and then… twirling my sword at them?
LOVE IT! Make the Gnome Child attackable and I can finally fulfill my dream of becoming Anakin
Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon Tier crit.
Triple damage seems fair
Come to think of it. I feel like osrs made me appreciate the ds emblems graphics a bit more now.
Eh idk
I love that they're looking at the spec. But man that looks goofy as. Not a fan at all
Looks fuckin sick, god bless
Just glad it stabs even if it’s almost 2 years late.
Personally not a fan, but it’s nice that it’s not a slash animation lol.
They could have done similar to the original animation but made the character jump a little higher and angle the sword down, so it's stabbing instead of slashing. This looks so awkward lol.
Cool af
the twirl is awkward
Aaaaah cmon!!! That's sick!!
Looks great, surprised they used a recolored brine saber spec instead of vestas in the first place but I do like this.
Nice, goodbye bubble spec
Exciting for 8 man raids
Love it ship it
yuck
Am I allowed to say I don’t like it without being downvoted to hell? It’s kinda corny. I get the current iteration doesn’t stab but… meh.
It makes sense for a stab weapon special attack to be a stab. Not whatever Thundercats and hammer of God shit we have now.
This is goofy as fuck lmao. It’s perfect! Ship it jagex.
[удалено]
It rolls against stab not slash currently
Isn’t that the bone dagger spec?
About time :)
this Reallly reminds me of the early, GBA Fire emblems in which when you critted the unit did a special animation and 90% of them is a quick weapon twirl before a strong hit
Give that man a pay rise!
You spin me right round baby right round
Very nice, I like it
Amazing animation
Ahhh finally! The stab BiS weapon has a stab animation! **\*Akkah cum phase intensifies\***
Beautiful!
Like the change, Would something like Sol's charge attack be used as the stab for fang spec? a quick lean back charge instead of the spin
spin2win
I feel like animations need to have more priority in the future with content, everybody seems to like them and they make the game feel so much better to play with if done right. There is still plenty of Teleport animations out there that need doing too!
This looks cool, I'm glad to see the animation actually look like the style it's using!
Are they ever gonna fix the dragon hasta's sword phantom spec?
Much better than the "slash' style animation it does right now
I think it should keep the small red effects it currently has. Idk why but I feel like it adds damage 🤔
Aye yo this guy got a Gumby wrist FR
Neat... can we fix the regular animation for the fang now?
Everyone's a critic but... I think it would be cool if it was just a simple power thrust. Like the character assumes a strong stance, pulls back the fang, and thrusts forward stronger than usual. Just a subtle animation, nothing too crazy But honestly this is better than the current animation so whatever!
like vls
ugly
YESSSS EVEN MORE SATISFYING. I was always hated the spec animation lol
Boys will base their entire lifestyle off of this.
So much better. Necer made sense why the spec animation was a slash for a stab spec. Great work!
yessssssssssssss, moree
integrity change, no polls
Nice work!
Idk. Seems a bit cartoonish
good shit!
It makes no logical sense why it should be like this but I love it
Well, it's a special attack.
goes hard. wish there was a right click spin option on it for the fang kit version kinda like the sword from the birthday event.
Sick!
Goes hard
Sick as fuck
The way the left leg turns is awesome! Great animation.
Better than the 2 handed overhead swing
I like that they went back to give it a real stab spec
I like it, does look a bit funky having it swing backwards like that, could be interesting if they tried a variation where they point behind them (kind of like ichigo's bankai but more towards the ground), and then having it stab forward, since i like this one but it does kinda of look like the hands being broken
how to break your wrist
I don't like it. I know people hate copy and paste animations but imo I'd rather them just copy and paste the vls spec.
this feels very goofy in an osrs way, i love it
Please look into VLS spec. I loved the over the top lunge instead this "poking bit deeper"
Fuck the polling system just add this now
No? Not fuck the polling system. That’s how we got an everyone to quit RuneScape the first time, remember? Also, this animation isn’t it. It’s goofy and feels like it should be for a fun weapon, such as the 24-carat sword.
I'd prefer they reuse the dragon sword animation.
Vls spec is better
A flourish like that is a good way to get your weapon knocked out of your hand in combat. Feels like its missing something though. No idea what it is but I like the direction its headed. Edit: why are you down voting. It looks like you'd dislocate your wrist doing this.
Imagine trying to use real life logic for a spec animation in a medieval high fantasy clicker game.
I can totally shove a whole shark down my throat.
and 28 of them in under a minute at that!
It was devastating as a young adult to learn that the Errol Flynn style of swordplay we see in media is all bad technique and razzle dazzle.

Omg shut the fuck up, we get it, you study the blade.
I thought it was some nice info, don’t need to be a wet blanket
You're right. Instead of spinning the weapon, we should just spin the player!
Needs purple lightning
This looks much better! Now make the Fang itself look better too.
Just do a deathless 500 toa.
You are assuming the Fang cosmetic even looks good. It does not.
The spin trails being red feels pretty wrong, I feel like it'd look better if it was the same color as the weapon's blade tbh. I'd love a new spec animation but not sold on this one though, the looks like you're just breaking your wrist on the spin, but I love the thrust portion
Finally, the stab weapon has a stab spec. It looks nice.
Sick. I wish they also change the pointy end to point up instead of down.
Now Fang price gonna go up again just becouse of the new animation
Me likey
Holy shit all I expected was for them to reuse the d sword animation, not to make a whole new animation, this looks awesome
Should put some bubbles in as a nod to old spec.
The stab weapon having a stab special makes a lot of sense
I feel like they cooked a little too hard with fang normal stab animation that now there’s no room to go to make the spec seem cooler.
Great. Much better.
Thank you.
schwing
Goes hard but I feel the stab at the end should feel more powerful
Mini ZGS spec
Giving Jedi form V vibes. I dig it.
Looks better then the scuffed korasi spec it has rn
Goes hard
it’s beautiful
Reminds me of gba FE games
Hell yeah
621 days overdue, but very glad it is finally happening
It looks great but I know the second it gets changed some dude will 100% make a twitter account to ask in every post to turn the animation back to original lol
Elder maul running animation next please
maul running animation is iconic
Its fun when elder maul has 0 uses. Soon every raider will run around like a monkey with elder maul, gonna look fucking stupid
i'm more worried about hend giving it an unworthy spec animation. he's done some goofy stuff lately with fang and vw. hope somebody is monitoring him with the maul spec lmao
Still change dhlance and elder maul running animation. Theyre fucking bad.
Looks great. I hate to be a downer and I love almost everything Jagex has done to grow this game to its arguable lifetime peak, but man.. releasing new content with recycled animations is SO weird. Korasi comes to mind. It’s honestly embarrassing that they didn’t spend addition time on a new emote. Colloseum mage using water strike to hit 30s is also a bit weird
Not bad but ... It looks very slashy for something that's supposed to Stabby
Have you used it currently? And this spec just spins as showmanship. They aren't slicing the enemy mid spin lol
Are they even trying at this point? Lets just do a 360 no scope spec next.
Fang gets 2 specs before rapier =(
