Igneous Shield - Major Mending buff no longer with visual animation...

Yeah, title says it all.

Why the hell did you remove the visual effect of the major mending buff that's been provided by Igneous Shield?

On live servers the DK gets red-glowing hands and it's really helpful to know if the buff is still active or not but on the PTS those red hands are gone.

Is there any reason for this change or is it just a bug?

    Probably a fix to reduce lag :wink:

    The animation was quite... unapparent. I doubt it will reduce the lag. I really hope it's a bug cause with ESOs horrible interface timing is quite horrible.

    Well there is a thread saying its to OP (when its not) so maybe they tried this to trick those who think this is a new buff (been around since update 4).

    If the glove does not glow red you must acquit (whining about the increased heal).

    Sorry that was lame i know. Hangs head in shame.

    Nah I had the other thread in mind while I wrote my topic but - like you've said - it's totally irrelevant because the major mending buff for DKs is there for months now and really NOBODY cared about it.

    It's not considerably OP at all, if DKs had access to a heal like Breath of Life then it'd be horridly overpowered, but they don't. So we're all good, I can see it becoming semi-OP when combined with Vigor, but that's a HoT so again, we're all good.

    Did you /bug it on PTS? Thats the only way it may make its way back in, as they redid all the animations along with the skills. I never noticed it until tonight, to be frank.

    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    No, didn't /bug it yet, I thought if I write it down here it would be enough, but I can make a report at the PTS.

    Bug reports in game go directly to devs. Posts in the forums, if seen by the customer service people, MAY make it to their desk, and have to be manually put into the system.
