My sincerest apologies for the somewhat rubbish quality, unfortunately I don't have the fastest internet speed in the world so I had to make some compromises to the quality to cut the size.

If you could not read the above dialogue then here's the summary of what I said.
I recently found a way to mix the animations of some abilities together, how this is done is pretty simple.

You basically swap your weapon set and immediately press one of your 5 weapons skill buttons.
What's gonna happen is that you will see the animations of both skills from both weapon sets for the button you press, mashed together.
But remember, in order for one to pull this off successfully you need to be really quick between pressing the weapon swap and the weapon skill. Ideally you wanna do this in the time frame it takes for the images of the second weapon set to appear!

At 1:37 I mix the animations of Death Blossom + Unload for the thief's number 3 skills for double daggers / double pistols.
At 2:34 I mix the animations of Heartseeker + Body Shot for thief's number 2 skills for double daggers / double pistols.

The rest of the animation mashups I've done in the video are shown clearly enough (I hope) starting at 3:38.

Also, at 10:18 I've shown how you can pull off odd idle animations using the weapons of the other set.

Now you wanna remember that this obviously only works for professions that have weapon-swapping in them. So this won't work with, say, Elementalists or Engineers.

This video is a demonstration of a few examples and is not intended to be taken as the full list of animation mixes you can pull off. This is clearly not a very long list, something like 14 animation mashups only.

Again, my sincerest apologies for the meh quality but please understand this wasn't easy to make or upload. Watching on 480p or 720p (if available) will make the dialogue I say in the game readable enough I hope.
