It could require a non-claw weapon.

That looks really cool to me Anarch!

Yes I notice that when playing the animation without a shield to make the gif, is fixed in the current version, the star anim has 7 frames, the loop while holding the sword 5 and the rest is the end anim. At normal speed it's 1 second long.
I have it already set up, but I'm still working in the 2h anims, and then I have to adapt them to the Female Body.

Anarch16sync, I've been watching your progress, this is impressive. 

Ooh Thanks Kva, coming from you, it means a lot to me. You're the one how inspire me to get into blender and 3ds max, most of what I do is because of your ideas, I just try to take them a bit foward.

mmm... not like the kind words of Phan, Gyt and Twinkle are not important to me, but I kind of get shy when people praise me to much  And my perfecionist side doesn't let me enjoy praise for something I knew I can do better 

By the way, the full animation pack for Parry should be ready for wednesday, and then I'm going to take some time off cause I have some exams coming.

Thanks so much for your work Anarch! and good luck with your exams

This looks really good Anarch, thanks so much!

EDIT:
Was about to try laying it into the skill and noticed Parry doesn't use a start>loop>end animation currently   then I remembered @TwinkleToes requested this for some specific changes he was planning. I'll wait then

oooo sick!, just in time too, ive got a couple of days off, to start working again on the destro

yep they are for my parry system.(Fiora's parry system from LoL actually  )
ill show the mechanics of the skill, it only has place holder particles and the damage numbers and other stuff are not in yet, but the foundation of the system is tested and working

heres the start and loop animation, this is what will happen when you just cast parry without getting hit.

Spoiler (hover to show)

the start animation is extremely fast because i set the speed to 5, it originally happens in 0.25 seconds but i cut it down to 0.05, which is necessary for the skill to function as a clutch damage evasion mechanic

if you are hit while in the looping animation (which only happens in 0.5 seconds) you will do a counter attack

Spoiler (hover to show)

the 1st gif shows me parrying attacks with different timings, to showcase its capabilities.
the 2nd gif shows what happens when you dont time the skill properly

i planned on using the shield buffer effect, but if you absorb a hit with a shield, it is not classified as being struck, so the end animation and counter attack wont procc, what i did instead is give the character max dr(75%) and millions of armor, so all damage it takes will be reduced to 1, i also added effects which negate block and dodge, so i dont have to make separate triggerables for them

i still need to adjust some stuff, like the turn rate, cooldown and aoe, etc.
i plan to add a stun with 100% ignore resist on the counter attack so it rewards you for parrying, letting you stun bosses if your close enough and counter their big attacks

also for the animations themselves, since the end animation cannot be changed according to equipment type, ill just keep it as the original 1h end animation, and use the 2h wep and dual wielding anims for their start and loop

i can revert the skill back into a spammable defense buffer instead of this, if enough people agree on that.
