My question is, thematically, how else would they do a dive animation? We could say gw2 stole the animation from Batman too because that’s how he dives. It just makes sense to put your wings to your side and dive down. The same goes for a barrel roll. It’s not a new concept and that cork screw roll can be seen in other games as well. It’s obviously the same animation, I won’t argue that because it 100% is. I’m just saying I can’t think of a way they could do it any differently and still make it look smooth.
