so i went to do /console set spelleffectlevel 5000 and found out the original vinnilla-wotlk command to add a lot more of the visual bolts or effect to the spell dont work and i can’t figire out how to 10x or 20x the visual effect localy like it use to be able to…
did blizzard break it?
Yes, they broke it.
They wanted to bring Classic, SoD and Anniversary UIs in line with Retail.
I share your frustration.
that’s lame…. original console commands were so good… been rolling idea around in my head to play on reptiles with a half shell for a while… 
Is this why many of my character animations like auto swings are missing and I see them in combat log making it appear as if I do zero attacks for a time then suddenly get a flurry of attacks?
i’ve noticed a lot of bugged animations also…
