New demonbolt alert and animation

I like the new alert, but could it possibly be brightened? It’s really dark and much less noticeable than the old one, especially because it can randomly proc from imps fading/being used for implosion.

Was also wondering if the animation could be updated/fixed? I still think it looks like it’s from WotLK (but if it doesn’t get changed, that’s fine). What really bugs me is that if your screen is just PARTIALLY angled from your toon, it has a really flat appearance as if it’s being clipped.

Well it’s good that someone likes it, now how do I go back?

I just made a weakaura for demonic core and put it overtop the poop smears

I kinda prefer the new graphics (looks vaguely more demonboltish than the almost holy-like paranthesis), but still I use weakauras to hide them if I don’t have room for 2 new soul shards. Masks them with a “Hand of Gul’dan” or “Call Dreadstalkers” icon, depending.

new graphic is god awful

sure it looks more like demonbolt from bfa but bfa demonbolt looks like trash or poop.

Yeah I hate this new graphic too. I barely notice it

I can’t stand it, I can barely see it and in certain zones/dungeons that are dark it’s near impossible

Why did they change it in the first place. God it’s ridiculous…

With the return of wrathguard dual wield, skull of manari talking again and finally de-mini-fied for goblins/gnomes… I get the impression that the demonic core HUD icons were part of a basket of warlock cosmetic changes that were supposed to be deployed earlier but didn’t make the cut.

“Holy comet” icons were deeply inappropriate for our class, and must have just been place holders. :slight_smile:

Everyone please note that I am using “like” very generously here. I like it more than the old one, but I still think it’s ugly af. Srry I didn’t specify above

The old one looked like some priest/paladin proc… the new one looks like some Star Guardian particle effects crap… I suggest just using a weak aura because the on-screen proc doesn’t tell you how many charged of Demonic Core you’re sitting on

I like the old one much better. Maybe as mentioned by Ohmlette, something that showed the charges too. That would useful. Maybe more like the old one, but it would grow up from the bottom for each charge of Demonic Core.

The old one is the same one that we used for MoP and WoD with soul fire though, it has nothing to do with holy comets

… true, though that HUD icon should have been yellow+amber/red for fire damage, not yellow+white which generally indicates holy power.

I think they just grabbed existing art assets and re-used them rather than design something new for it. Until now, I guess.
