Guild Wars 2

It is constantly brought up that GW2 is hard to watch due to these. But if you look at the graphic effects on a skill by skill basis many of them are quite unimpressive. Overcharged shot? Nothing. RF? Almost nothing. Headshot? Nothing. Earth shaker? Almost nothing.

I’m not trying to say there are no particle effects I wouldn’t tone down, I’m just curious what people feel are the big problems. I suspect burning is like 50% of the problem.

Guards fire and ice burns – that alone would help me a lot in PvE.
In WvW/PvP most animations/explosions/fire of engis and eles.

I would disable whole Mesmer.
