Not necessarily. I was playing a fractal the other day and my group was Mesmer (me), Guardian, Guardian, Engineer, Engineer.
Let’s just say that fractals don’t always let you zoom out all of the way, and sometimes the fighting will be very close to your camera at the corner of the screen. While it won’t blind me, it will actually cause a singificant fps drop for me which can potentially kill me (see: uncategorized fractal)
Yeaaaaah. But it was a pretty fast run and went smoothly other than me dying for stupid reasons.
IGNORING THE FACT THAT I BROUGHT PVE INTO A PVP FORUM…
I think the point still stands: if you’re getting fps lag from effects, the models won’t fix that problem. Try using model quality on lowest.
