It's a good anim, but the way he hold the staff when he swing is just way of anything a sane person would try. You don't hold a staff by it's tip, when you make a swing with it.

Maybe the white mage, not being a combat expert or anything, doesn't know any better than to swing the staff like a baseball bat.

And even then that's not how you swing a baseball bat. It could also use a few less frames on the wing to make it looks harder. Maybe have a frame or almost frame pause on hit.

Exactly, even a baseball bat you are suppose to "choke up" on.
