Does it bother anyone else that this ability used to have a way cooler, updated spell graphic during the Legion beta, and they took it away and since then have never reimplemented it?
It’s been like 8 years of the crappy Glacial Advance.

They need to update like all of frost graphically tbh. It’s all “How much icy mist can we have on the screen at once”. I’d LOVE some kinda unique animation for pillar of frost that really showed how impactful it is.
Frost has so much visual clutter already, that a subdued effect is honestly pretty ideal. No other spec in the game makes it half as obnoxious to see lethal ground effects. RW+BoS makes seeing white and blue swirlies very difficult. I honestly want more VFX trimmed, so that we aren’t a walking visual obstruction. Optimal character movement naturally has right click held down most of the time, so Advance is really easy to aim.
The current graphic is really crap. Even just shortening the gap between each ice spike would improve the look of it. I’d love to see it have a base layer on the effect akin to the path made by frostwyrms fury so the spikes don’t come out of nothing.
I also wish they would change the cast animation so we didn’t just point our weapon to make it happen. The stomp animation from thunderclap would be cool and add some weight to the overall look. The same way having it come off the slam of obliterate does.

I went looking to see if anyone else had commented on how especially outdated and … low res (?), uninteresting, bland, the graphic for glacial advance is - I’m glad to see that I’m not the other one that’s bothered / irritated by it.
