You've been struck by a smooth Avatar

Title: You've been struck by a smooth Avatar (moon walking combat still happening)
Reproduction Rate: Easy.
Blocker? No.
Details: Moon walking in combat still occurring. Occurs much less frequently. Seem to be able to mainly trigger it when pressing forward (w) and the 1 key for thrust (2 handed sword) to initiate combat (press at basically the same time on out of visual sector approach of an opponent, I.E. flanking).
Steps to Reproduce: Approach opponent from out of visual sector, e.g. sneakily. Press w (forward) and 1 (thrust) to initiate combat. Look at the feet and percentage cast rates. If the feet shuffle while you stand in place and percentage combat cast is lower than it should be when stationary then you have reproduced the issue.
Alternate steps to reproduce:
Press and release w (forward) and 1 (thrust) at the same time. Even when not in combat, the walking animation occurs for the entire duration of the thrust.

We are working on new combat animations that should avoid this issue in the future. Thanks for reporting.
