Guild Wars 2

I recently switched my main to a guard so this hasn’t been a problem until now. Tonight I ran Fractals in a PUG with two mesmers and an ele and found that with all the spell effects going on with some mobs and bosses that I couldn’t see the animation for attacks that I would want to dodge. Is there a way to disable all the special skill effects to make things a bit more visible?

I think you can reduce the graphics for them in options.Hope it helps
