As the title says, pretty please even out the Jormag’s Breath and Fiery Dragon Swords speciel effects so they match each other! The Jormag’s Breath sword has considerably less of a frost effect then the fire counterpart.
I recently matched these two beauties up for my revanent and was disappointing to see the mismatch. I know they are 3,5 year old weapons, but please consider evening them out? I know you are busy with new content which you’ve just posted about today, but this would be so greatly appreciated.
Now, the question would be either to nerf the fire effect or boost the frost one. This is i guess the hard question.

Is there a specific reason their frost/fire effects weren’t created to be the same to begin with when they were designed?

This is just a small QoL adjustment, and i know i will be bashed by people about feedback to such a small and insignificant detail when there are bigger issues to talk about.

I believe that the effects are actually the same size, but Jormag’s Breath’s “outer flames” are much dimmer/fainter, and therefore do not display well.

If you enlarge the third image, you CAN see that parts of the background wall are tinted blue because you are looking at them through the outer flames. But that shading is about the only indication of the visual effect’s true length.

So, the only real fix needed is to brighten the outer flames of Jormag’s Breath, not to match the core flames, but enough to make it visible.
