Blame all the whingers. This is potentially true. I absolutely don't see Intrepid having a different cast animation or skill flight animation for anything based on target level. This would require an additional check to every single skill cast in the game, and that would add up to a significant amount of resourcces. What I could see though, is a unique death animation if the kill shot did (as an example) 50% or more of the mobs total HP. To me, this would be a nice touch.

What do you imagine with this unique death animation? The body turning into more or less ashes?
