Every time my druid shapeshift to werewolf by using Shred or as default with Mad Wolf’s Glee, there’s a very fast strobing light effect on the character. It also happens when shapeshifting to werebear with Trample for example. It’s really hard on the eyes and happens every time I go into the wereform; when going back to human form there’s a single flash instead.
EDIT: After testing a few more things, I don’t see any difference by changing the visual settings like “Reduce strobing” however the effect doesn’t happen when changing from werewolf to werebear directly or vice versa, it only happens when changing from human to wereform.

This is happening to me too and I was just about to post about it. I’m new to the forums, can I post a picture of it somehow?
I think you need to host it on imgur and link it using the preformatted text, never done it but I think that’s how people share links

Hopefully that works.
It happens any time I shift into bear or wolf, I tried lowering each graphic setting individually and nothing seems to fix it. I wonder if it’s because I chose the glowing green eyes? Might be a bug with that, idk.

I tried a few more things:
Updated Nvidia drivers, now on 555.99 (RTX 3070 Ti Laptop)
Tried creating a fresh new character and gave it on point in claw, nothing else
Tried resetting all the visual and accessibility settings to defaults
Nothing worked, I still have that fast flashing halo every time the character shapeshifts.

I am on the same same driver and on a 3070 as well. Tried resetting to default and didn’t fix it and tried lowering the settings all the way down and still happened just not as bright. Was wondering if this has anything to do with HDR but I haven’t had the opportunity to try messing with those settings yet.
I am also having this issue after the patch yesterday. Druid, seems to be when walking around as werebear or using pulverize.
Also updated drivers, played with graphical settings - nothing worked.
I managed to stop the effect on my machine by doing the following:
Reset the graphic settings to defaults
Set the quality preset on high in the Quality subsection
Set the shader quality to low
This only took effect after I changed zone, I’ve use the training grounds for my testing, going in and out.
I restarted the game to see if the setting held and it did so for now I’m going to keep these settings as such.
I hope this will work for other folks and that the issue will be fixed by Blizzard.
Druid Lighting Bug Quality is not the best but i captured a quick video and uploaded it as the same issue is also happening for me and a couple of friends.

This worked…seems the problem i had was not causing a reload after every test. Also appears that for me i can keep all my settings set to the previous values other than shader, it has to be low in order to prevent this issue. If the shader is above low it will cause this problem. Thank you very much @Thanos. Hope this gives blizzard enough information to fix the bug.
Glad it worked for you as well, thanks for confirming, and yes hopefully that’s enough data for Blizzard to fix the issue.
can also confirm once i reset settings to default and set shader to low the issue went away. Tested for 4 hours today to make sure and not returned as of yet.
Thanks I had the same problem.
Dropping the Shader Quality to Low worked for me as well.
As @phesto said as well you don’t need to log out of the game after the shader change, just teleport to a different waypoint seems to work to apply the change.
Seems this issue has reusrfaced but not consistantly it will do it for an hour or so then stop either for the rest of the day or for a few hours. I hope they address this soon
Came to the forums looking for help on this very issue. Makes Druid feel hard to play when in constantly getting blinded in an otherwise very dark game! I’m playing on Steam Deck, so it’s not just a PC thing.
