discuss.
went to make female aman
tested lance reach
1m shorter then elin lance reach
stopped leveling female aman
when they fix it, I might feel like putting some more time into that character... cuz I really don't want to be another one of the million elin lancers all over the place but for some reason they were given the most distance in thrust

I haven't had any issues with the Popori's lance reach is it only the female Amans?

Yea the racial animations aren't balanced quite perfectly.. They kinda over-compensated the small races attack ranges trying to match the big ones, and ended up making them have the best ranges overall, tho it varies from class to class.
Check out this vid, it shows it pretty well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2JiSlcjVBc
From what i can tell from the vid:
Lancer:
Yea female amani has really poor range. Male is slightly better but still bad.
Popori is pretty average. High elves and Elin have a substantially longer range.
Slayer:
All over the place, I think this was maybe the first class they made and they just went nuts with the anims not worrying about uniformity, almost every race has some variations.
-Male castanic stands out a lot with the huge leap on the 4th swing .. And yea while move range doesnt necessarily mean attack range, its still important in many cases.
-Amani mostly average here unlike other classes where they often fall behind.
-The 4th swing is very different between small and big races.. Small races mostly get a 360, double hit, where the first hit does less dmg.. Maybe 30%/70%? vs the big races which just get a bigger linear one shot damage swing. Don't think it's balanced, as more hits gives you more crit chances. Though not a big deal given if you play your slayer well, you'll rarely get a 4th swing.
Berserker:
Betting they did this class later, as the anims are much more refined, uniform and equalized across most races. Only 2 notable exceptions:
-Aman male: Swings his axe backwards on the third swing, and doesn't move forward.. Kind of a minor disadvantage.
-Popori - has a unique animation all around, doesn't seem to affect his range tho.
In general they are mostly balanced, tho Berserker in general seems to swing way too slow imo, don't see the reason for the disparity.. They need mana from basic attack same as slayers, should be the same speed. It's also reflected in there stats, there base attack speeds rated lower, so a simple tweak to that might be all it takes to equalize that.
Warrior:
Very well equalized. No notable advantages or disadvantages.
Popori and a cpl other races do have slightly unique looking anims, but movement and probably attack range seems about the same,

I plan to roll either my Slayer / Berserker and / or Archer as a female aman.
I was going to make my Priest a female aman but I just don't like their cloth armour.

Only Lancers and Warriors care much about the CA animations.
I planned an Aman for my main mystic and was floored by how boring her casting animations were. I now have an Aman lancer, because I love how the plate is just stuck on their like dragon armor. >.>

I made a slayer last night. Haven't played her yet though.
I feel like an oddball after isle of dawn, because I rarely see ay myself. Also when I join groups I've gotten several times "oh wow an Amani female don't see many of those".I have 3 aman woman as priest, warrior, and lancer myself and enjoy playing them a great deal.
If I had to guess it's probably because we're not as "attractive"(i cant come up with a word really right now to best describe it to a significant amount of players compared to other females of different races available. The lower half of the body also to some from what I've been told was a deciding factor as well. I like how they look and their animations overall and they're my favourite closely followed by popori, but I do feel odd as I've seen more Barakas than I have female Amani so far.

I play an Amani female priest and I am in love with the character. I don't concern myself with the mechanics (like reach), however
I absolutely love the way the Amani females look physically as well as their armor sets. While I won't say they're more attractive than the other females, I feel they are at least equal. It depends on what you like:
Castanics: Slim, sensuous, furious
High Elves: Busty, delicate-seeming
Humans: Like models, a lot of their outfits seem almost Disco-esque to me (robes)
Elin: ...
Amani: Tough, bestial, piss them off during sex and they will rip your throat out
