Anyone else get Spell effect changes? I really like the old spell effect and seeing these is weird. Any other classes get changes?
Frostbolt is dimmed, when my frost bolt hits someone it has a weird flash hit marker like I am playing call of duty. Arcane explosion looks smaller not 100% sure on that. Blizzard is also different.
My computer is not just crapping out randomly right, these are actual changes?
Yeah I noticed these changes too. I absolutely HATE the new frostbolt animation. The flash looks cartoony and is super distracting. I wonder if it bothers people who are sensitive to flashes and lights?
Fireballs have a new fire explosion animation when they hit, and arcane missiles look different and also have an arcane explosion. These actually look all right. AE does look smaller.
I’ve noticed a change to Corruption on Warlock. It’s like a purple miasma that attracts continuously towards the target. It is no longer the green stink cloud with flies buzzing around every so often.
Other changes I have noticed are that you can see spell duration on targets and the map can be made smaller instead of taking up the whole screen. These two changes are welcome.
You can set the particle Density to Low or Disabled, if that’s really an issue for someone.
Yeah immolate on warlocks looks like its a shadow spell? Not fiery red orange, sorta flamey with purple tones. Drain soul has been downgraded to its vanilla WoW animation which is fair, but its an upleasant rugpull especially when looking back the cast was beautiful. Maybe its me lol. I’m running ultra on everything so idk. Tuesdays sux
Once again it’s up to us to find workarounds for Blizzards “improvements”. Sigh!
Hate hate hate the new frostbolt. Oh well, at least we don’t cast it that much. 
Sadly, yes. But, at least there is an option, somewhat lol.
Does particle density affect the new damage spell hit effects (i.e. the frostbolt flash)? I haven’t tested that yet.
I don’t think it’ll affect the actual effect. It was to help reduce effects, for people with light sensitivity.
Yep. Hate it too. PLEASE revert Frostbolt back to its true classic look.
I’m very sensitive to flashes on screen, this new spell animation made me cancel my sub. I literally cannot play the game anymore. Note: new animation was added to mobs spells as well.
Really, one spell animation out of all the different classes and spells made you cancel your sub? Seems a bit excessive but to each his own.
Here’s the thing. First it’s one spell, next update it’s a couple more, next update we’re all running like bouncy balls, next update we have human females screeching like banshees in melee … and on and on and on. Eventually it’s unrecognizable.
It’s not one, it’s like dozens of spells.
Why did they change any in the first place?
They know.
They’re working on it.
