A huge criticism of GW2 in it’s current state is the chaos of particle effects in all game modes. It’s often confusing for veterans and of course new potential players.
Right now, the speed of encounters aside, fights are a collage of AOE effects that often encompass the target. If a boss isn’t massive, it’s next to impossible to see vital telegraphs and dodge for skilled play. This is one main reason why sub-elite players and groups opt to range targets down.
Guardian blue flame burn and a few mesmer clones and good luck dodging the bouncing projectile from Mossman or anything the Archdiviner (cliffside) throws at you.
The Revenant’s particle effects mostly effect the terrain and keep the target visible. This lessens the visual strain and makes content SO MUCH more playable. I hope that all future particle effects will follow suit and all old particle effects will be revamped in such a way. This is currently my favorite thing about the Revenant.
So much this. I often play with my camera zoomed in to a stupid degree, and still can’t see Archdiviner. Seriously, lupi is easily my favorite fight because its the only one where you can see the tels.
Edit: relevant screenshot. That is a huge mob and you can’t even tell what color it is supposed to be much less anything else. This also definitely was not co-ordinated in any way, if memory serves it got even crazier before I snapped this. Follow the blue chip in action right there, most of those people are probably farmers in zombie mode.
Naa..not a problem for me, im focusing on the person attacking not the flashy stuff. I actually zoom out to the max so i can see more of what is happening. I would rather have all the pretty colours on my screen than nothing at all (stealth)

Works fine in sPvP, as well as roaming in WvW, not so much elsewhere.
