I remember back when World of Warcraft was just plain vanilla and there was plenty of time to observe things during the countless fights. I remember looking at the same two attack animations being played out over and over again and thinking, “It’d be really cool if they added more animations in future patches as a feature!”

While I don’t think this ever came to be, I’ve been interested in quality-looking weapon animations that didn’t come off as someone swooshing a nerf bat through empty space while damage numbers magically appeared over an enemy’s head.

If you think over all of the MMOs you’ve played, which game has the best weapon animations? We’ll give points for both variety and technique here!

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
