To escape from additional casts, via range?
I never noticed it being as bad as this before. The Animations are just horrendous. The Dwarf that you see is the worst offender of them all, for whatever class hes playing if thats relevant. People still look "Floaty" af. Thank God its still has a long ways to go before release.
For animations to look good you really need some momentum and for swings/abilities to freeze you or atleast slow you down. I can't think of a single twitch combat game where the animations look good because everyone is spazing out constantly trying to dodge.
Since it is tab targeting though they should be able to make it look better, was there even a gameplay reason for that guy filming it to be jousting and strafing like he was?

Pretty much every Western game I see in it's Alpha state, I think to myself, "ah, those animations need some work (compared to Korean stuff especially) but it's early! I'm sure they'll get around to doing a pass on that and tighten them up!" And. They. Never. Do.
It's like Western devs don't even fucking try. Or whoever is in charge just doesn't care, just wants it to be functional.

Why is it that western devs can't nail combat like the korean games? Maybe they should outsource that or something, because combat in most Korean games is just good. Off the top of my head I cannot think of a western game that had really good combat, maybe Gw2?

Part of it is the fact that Korean games' character models have more bones. Way more. So, they can actually do realistic animations. Could also be something like maybe Korea has some mocap studios that the game companies outsource to. And the fact that Korean games have to compete with each other, so they kinda have to meet a basic (Korean) standard.
Also helps to have really good sound design, to make combat impactful. Lost Ark's is top notch.
