Give it to players, thanks.

It was supposed to be added in Legion but people cried that it was too shiny. So obviously they didnt give it.
Too flashy for such a weak spell, maybe for Lightning Lasso.
No, actually. That was a different one.
SL enhancement is going to be using it a lot.
Yes please.

And that’s fine, but it’s still a low priority filler.
Chaos Bolt or Pyroblast wouldn’t look as scary if Incinerate or Fireball were equally big.
Spells have to telegraph their potential danger, LB is not dangerous but that animation makes it look as if it was; Lightning Lasso is very dangerous, it’s more fitting.
I’ll take graphical enhancements to the important and iconic class-wide spell over the PvP gimmick.
If this logic held up, why were frostbolt and fireball enhanced?
Maybe it shouldn’t be a weak spell? Just maybe, MAYBE classes should do damage with their primary attack?

I agree that LB needs a better animation, but that is not it. Blizzard games have always had very clear visual feedback so that even new players can easily evaluate the situation at a glance.
Matter of personal preference, improving weak spells would mean reducing the burst from Lava Burst or Chaos Bolt to make up for it. I’d rather keep fillers as resource generators.
I’d like to provide an alternative that looks cool, but doesn’t say “FOLLOW THE BIG BLUE LINE TO THE FREE KILL” in pvp.
Lightning that comes down from the sky. I want to summon the elements, not throw them from my fingertips. Let the storms heed my call and come from the heavens to massacre the enemies of Triarius.
Could be a glyph to make it look more flashy. There’s other glyphs that make stuff look more intense.
Glyph: Thunderaan’s blessing.

Just because they made incinerate into a dry fart doesn’t mean lightning bolt has to be too.
Your argument is basically “it can’t be pretty if it’s a filler spell”, which is stupid.

Now you’re making things up, good luck with your request.
I like flashy spells but it would be weird for normal LB to be flashier than an overloaded CL.
Much like how boomies have their moon/sun fire come from the sky?
Would be neat.

I’d ideally want both looked at, but the animation work is clearly observable ingame already. They could give it to us in a hotfix if they wanted to, so it’s easier to just push for that.
Not necessarily. In the past filler spells were strong, and they still implemented things like lava burst and chaos bolt. They just had cooldowns. I think lavaburst still does now but it’s underwhelming either way…
Actually I think cata destruction warlock was the weakest destructions ever been, but hte most fun i’ve ever had with a PvE rotation.
Then we’d be stuck with a really cool animation for a really not cool spell.
Perhaps at full stacks with primal storm elemental out or a talented enhancement LB, but for base LB, no.
