    Agreed.

    lol i totally get it its so gay because its a flower XDDDDD

    In all seriousness, I like Death Blossom because it has a clear motif, and it makes some sense to associate roses with a fencer. A lot of other WSs are just a pretty light show so I like ones with a theme. Blade: Ku or Shijin Spiral would be other examples.

    Chant du Cygne! Even though Almace didn't fit it at all. The sword being of French origin was really the only thing that matched.

    "Red Roses" seem to be the theme for RDM in general, there must be some joke about Akamadoushi and Akaihana (which is "Red Rose" in japanese, but literally it means just "red flower" I think?)
    Why I'm saying this? Because of the RDM Job Emote, you get surrounded by tons of magical red roses.
    Gayest Jobemote ever of course, followed by the RNG one and his "forest friends" lololol
    Or maybe I'm too ill-minded seeing all these gay things everywhere.

    I get what you mean about WS btw. But for me it's more a matter of animations. A lot of WS have just flashy effects (some of which are even cool) that you can't really apreciate (too flashy) and coordinate with same old rehashed copypasted animations.
    /thumbdown
    Other WS have pretty cool animations instead and I really love those. Blade: Shun for instance. I don't have it atm (no free merits!) but it's fantastic, and in general most of the Merit WS are pretty awesome for me.


    @Prothescar
    Almace was so fucking huge... always looked like a 2h sword instead than a 1h one lol I always found it a bit "strange". From Chant do Cygne and the Zorro animation you'd expect a Rapier-like sword, wouldn't you?

    I was always a fan of wildfire but though it would've fit better from a more hand cannon looking gun

    So I guess I'm the only one that dat modded wildfire to Leaden Salute?

    Because fire is nice but dropping a singularity on a bitch is where its at.

    Leaden Salute wins because of its name. It took me months to realize I was pronouncing it incorrectly. For others who are also slow like me, Leaden Salute infers you're saluting your enemy with lead. "Leaden" is the adjective used for something made of lead metal just like how golden for gold.

    The whole name is a reference to how during the age of sail, before entering port a ship would fire all their cannons to show they were entering unarmed (since it would take longer for them to reload than it would take for them to sail into range of coastal artillery). But since corsairs are pirate-themed, it's an attack... or something like that.

    And as far as being obtuse about RDM's job emote being gay, read this and remember that SE is japanese and therefore likely aware of it. And that if I'm not mistaken, they used that effect on Mayakov (the dancer with a lisp introduced in a mission called "Queen of the Dance")

    How else would you pronounce/interpret it?

    Lee-den Salute, if someone failed to get the reference to lead -> bullets -> cannons -> pirates.

    The fact that they used it with Mayakov aside, the rose thing never seemed gay to me. Rather it reminded me of

    Clearly the only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that SE needs to add GEO and RUN emotes

    Have a feeling they will soon. You get a different 'more controlled' error message when you /jobemote RUN, and /jobemote GEO, than when you /jobemote 'anything else'.

    Now this is very odd, I just tried /jobemote ??? in game and it did the war job emote, I don't even have the war emote unlocked.

    Not sure what the war one is exactly but if I'm targeting myself I get "takes on all comers" if I target someone else I get "taunts player menacingly" either way I make the toss motion and throwing a dark blue green bandaid on the targets head
