[VISUAL] Pit of Malice

[Terresquall]

Pit of Malice looks slightly odd currently. When the corpses are spawned, they all face the same direction:

Did they have an agreement to face the same direction?

What I suggest is to randomise their facing directions, so they look more natural and scattered:

The boys look more comfortable now.

Misc: Cast Animation

I also suggest using Pit Lord's "Spell Slam" as his cast animation for Pit of Malice.

• The "Spell Slam" animation is a beautiful animation that is currently unused. All of his spells use the same animation currently.
• The current animation doesn't fit Pit of Malice, because a little bit of fire appears on his staff when he finishes raising his weapon into the air.

NOTE: For the full animation to play, Pit of Malice's Follow Through Time must be increased to 0.6 in the Object Editor. Otherwise the animation will be cut off abruptly. "Follow Through Time" is the amount of cast backswing the spell has and it can be animation cancelled (i.e. it doesn't affect balance).

I have a test map right here.

Different? No.

Oh, misread, I though you was talking about tombstones.

^ They're different, why?

OT, just a minor improvement but definitely would look better

[cairnebloodhoof]

T-UP

Now look more natural-ish.

I don't care about the corpses, but a huge T-up for changing the casting animation. It is a pity that he only uses two of his three animations (While he mostly his regular spell animation. The stand channel animation goes completely unnoticed by his Dark Rift.).

[Lithary]

T-up!

The stand channel animation goes completely unnoticed by his Dark Rift.

The stand channel animation is unusable for any of his spells because it is badly done. There is no transition at all from the stand animation, so it looks extremely clippy.

Damn you I was thinking of suggesting this today xD
T-up ofc

[AKBu3nY]

Such little changes can make a spell look much better.

This is true, but this problem have all channeling animations. The animation would fit better to current Firestorm since it is a channeling ability. Current one looks just stupid how he raises his weapon over and over again (which ist totally overused anyway) and after the spell stops he is in the middle of an animation and suddenly interrupts.
