Maining conq, I've noticed that sometimes when I'm standing still and the "rest animation" kicks in the flail with straighten out and stand out like a sword. Sometimes it's static like that, sometimes it flickers between that and hanging free. Once I start swinging it all works like it should.
(Is there any way of delivering this message and NOT sound like I'm talking about *****es?)
Ive noticed something similar when the conquerer backs away from you in combat, the flail will either alternate between straight up and straight down like a flickering slide show, or it will occasionally show itself obeying physics dangling down only to suddenly be in a full rotational swing animation as the conquerer gets closer again. Seems like some of the frames of animation are a little wonky or missing as it attempts to shift to lower detail perhaps? as far as YOUR flail doing weird things i didnt play the archtype long enough to notice that one
