File talk:Sever Artery animation.gif

I'm confused on what to do with this animation... its a skill chain, so do we put it on all three articles? --hnzdvn 17:30, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I imagine so, but such skills are always going to cause issues I suspect. Best establish a definite thing now so we don't get caught up with similar skills in the future. I say it goes on all three articles. Shadow Runner 17:36, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Also, if we were to do that would it need to be named differently? Shadow Runner 17:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Gash Combo? --Neil • 17:38, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I guess so. I've uploaded the video here, though, so we could include a link to the specific time at which each skill occurs in addition to the gif file. Of course, I'm still awaiting confirmation from ANet that we can use the GW2W YouTube channel as a video archive, so I don't think we could link the video yet. Maybe the gif file could be divided into three separate files. The original could be placed on the chain article with the segments being placed on the individual skill articles. On a partially off-topic note, I would like to be able to use that YT channel as a video archive in addition to the gif files since the YT videos have sound.-- Shew ♠♠♠ 17:38, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I can do the split. Just tell me exactly where each skill starts and ends. Chriskang 17:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I would say splitting them would be best in order to avoid confusion. Also, Shew, I like the idea of a video archive on YouTube as well. --hnzdvn 17:44, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I think the part beginning around 0:14 is a good place to start the individual ones because only two characters are in the scene. They happen so fast that I couldn't tell you the exact time, but each slash is a different skill (the first 2 have blood, and the third emits the sparks/light/whatever).-- Shew ♠♠♠ 17:46, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

So the Sever Artery part would be the "forehand drive" (horizontal, nearly 360 degrees) then the Gash part would be the backhand hit (slightly going down from over his head) and Final Thrust would be the part where he kneels and moves forward? Am I right to guess that? Chriskang 18:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

It's gotta be that way. We know that sever artery has a bleeding animation, and while it wasn't point-blank stated that Gash has a bleeding animation as well, the chain finishes after three hits.-- Shew ♠♠♠ 18:06, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Should be OK. Hope you don't mind the slow mo. Chriskang 18:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; I think slow mo is fine considering the length of each skill/the fact that they're linked together.-- Shew ♠♠♠

Of course, if the three articles are combined, we can just use the original. :P-- Shew ♠♠♠ 19:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
