I wish I could hold a gun like he does...

An odd idea popped up in my head:

If your character could have any set of humanoid animations regardless of race, which animation set would you choose? This includes cross-gender, Vrykul, and maybe even Tuskarr and some other races.

The point of this is: Maybe you like one race/gender combination, but you just don't like their animations. Which animations would make that kind of character absolutely awesome for you?

Arclite- Male Draenei. No doubt about it. Male Draenei have the most awesome gun and polearm animations, along with a badass chest-pounding roar. Oh, and don't forget Tunak Tunak Tun for a dance.
Vicario- Either male Tauren or Vrykul, if any change. The former for the dances, and the latter for cool 1-hand combat animations.

I like the undead female's 1h special attack, the bloodelf female's 2h special attack and the female draenai's "shotty pump" action gun/xbow reload.
Also like the bloodelf males death emote and stealth walk and the bloodelf female's stealth walk.

I'm honestly right beside you when it comes to how the different races/genders animations rock individually. I truly wish you could change each races animations kinda like the barber shop works. Maybe... a training facility... It would let you pick and choose as you like instead of just dealing with what you get. We're getting a dance studio... I'd pass on doing the blood elf moonwalk in order to shotty pump my guns and front flip metroid spiral attack. (I'd even pass on twirling every other jump... although I think NE and BE males should front flip randomly, while NE and BE females do the twirl. I'm just sayin.
I don't really feel like this is so much the "Post-Modern" era as much as its the "Pre-Zombie-Apocalpse" era. I consider myself more of a forward thinking guy and an era that just won't die is just as feasible as a coming era, where the dead come back.

Well, the Female Draenei gun/crossbow animation is the best in the game, I'd actually prefer the Gnome bow animation. The bow is about twice as big as the character, so they hold the bow parallely (spelling?).

Then again, Gnome gun animation is also fun...

I also exist on DeviantArt.

I love the way the female tauren swing a large two-hander! :D Epicfail is right, the female undeads have a great 1h animation, and as Saturo points out, the draenei xbow animations just plain rock.

Hmm. I'd definitely want to switch up the dance, but I'm not sure which one to go for... the female tauren dance, perhaps?
