Necro blighted corpse explosion when cast multiple times will completely obscure enemies, ground damage, and players and will not highlight the player when obscured by it. Ended up killing a HC friend from it and have almost died a few times from losing my character. Have to result to changing to plagued corpse explode to see danger and character.

It is unplayable on hardcore and it makes playing the class/build way less enjoyable. We need to hear from Blizzard on this asap.

I was just posting about this but saw it was already covered. Yea man. It hides the whole playfield as you spam. Not just a gameplay issue but you miss all the cool graphics and animation. Try being in a party with another necro with the same build…not enjoyable. I think it might also bother other players in your party as well.
I can’t believe it was not addressed during Beta. (was it called out in Beta?). Without any changes, going to spec out of it… sooner then later. Blizzard went all in the accessibility to their credit but have a power that obscures the game. I have no impairment but anyone else? Unplayable I am sure… hard enough see and less enjoyable as is for me.

I had to swap to plagued as well, which just feels bad when you’ve got passives for darkness skills. It’s extremely frustrating, especially when I would prefer to use shadowblight over kalan’s edict.
Ideally, it would be a setting to reduce spell clutter. That would remove any future problems as well and give other builds like lightning sorc and storm druid, which also have a lot of distracting visuals, the ability to focus on dodging mechanics in high-tier content. I expect this will only become more important as players group up in later content, stacking multiple fully affixed, high-clutter builds on top of one another.
A quick fix for blighted corpse explosion would be to remove the stacking effect. The obscurement is fine until you get 2-3+ on top of one another. Alternatively, make the targeting reticules for mob abilities shine through the way the character highlight does.

Go in the option “game” section et click on “character highlight”, that’s a solution for the moment.
Same here. Hope it will be fixed soon
Indeed. HUGE issue that needs a fix ASAP as it’s one of the top builds for necro atm. Seeing a screen of dark fog 80% of the time cannot be how bliz wants us to enjoy this game…
Seems they are going to fix it later this month, via this post here:

Patch is much needed please! All my friends are dead, and I then finish big fights alone because all my shadows prevent me from seeing their spirits until I look at the minimap
