They shouldn’t be touching the Spell FX at all, not without some prior implementation of a slider so that we can choose what level of detail we want.
Most of the visual nerfs seem to be targetting Spells people actually like the look of for me personally the Mortar F1 Skill hurt the most Oribtal Strike used to look impressive now it looks a fishing line just fell out of thin air.
Elementalist fireballs being shrunk makes no sense at all in no world can something so small and inconsistant cause any kind of visual impairment.
The nerf to Necromancer Shroud 5 has really irritated me in no way did it Impede vision at all and now it is just a flat icefield with no particles at all. 100% of the reason i went back to maining my Necromancer was because it was Extremely Visually appealing and now i’m going to get to watch them sap all the eye candy out of it.
With the cash cow outfits in the BLTP the lack of armor sets being added in HoT’s and Sweeping visual nerfs and failure to balance the game i don’t think A-NET is heading in a good direction everything seems to be about nickle and diming players with poor micro transactions [Outfits >.>] and trying to turn GW2 into an Esport….
Hopefully they will make a U turn and start adding features the community wants.
