I was watching videos seeing a bunch of people using it in the wardrobe on the PTR. It looks like It has almost zero of that black smoke that made it look cool in the first place… one of the most underwhelming illusions I’ve ever seen. I got it and my first thought was “that’s it?”
This is one of the things I’ve noticed. Why aren’t they properly adjusting the illusion to different weapon types.
It doesn’t take too long for someone to do this in a design editor.
Guessing my take on it, is that the developers doesn’t see it as that important and just do a baseline adjuster which is why some weapons look okish and others it looks horrible or almost no show of it . The quality of illusions on weapon types has gone downhill over the years though.
Shadow flame was the last good one and that too has it issues when you tests it on different weapons. Gone are the days of cool looking illusions. Now we get pasty/no particles effects ones.
