I think Artillery Slash animation would improve as rifle-holding

Right now that skill has no physical component for the damage of any sword slash from gunsaber. It's literally just shoot a projectile. I think it would be AMAZING for it to use some animation from the rifles. Literally hold the gunsaber like a rifle, like 1 skill for any rifle, do the shot, then hold it again as a sword. I would like it a lot more as a real mixture of gun and saber.

Wait, really?

*checks wiki*

Hrrrmn, I think they've done it with Blooming Fire as well - the damage is all from the projectile and subsequent explosions.

Yeah, I'd be inclined to agree that if the attacks have no blade component, the animations probably would be better if the sword was simply pointed at the opponent and fired, somewhat like a Qualta Blade from Farscape.
