Legionary animations

Just out of curiosity, exactly how many attack animations does a skeleton have?

Well... that depends. It seems to vary quite heavily from type to type. I counted eleven in one, which seemed to be about average.

Honestly, I'm going to need to look more thoroughly at how many attacks/what kind different skeletons have and what determines that.

Well I think we have a primary attack for you but the animation you had before didn't quite work, although it was a nice elaboration of what CA had. I would think that aside from the drive in that attack the other moves should be more defensive. The main purpose of a shield is sort of negated if you swing it around all the time.
