What is this purple graphic?

Does anyone out there actually like the new Bound Armaments graphic? To me, it looks like some purple stank coming off of you, or you just have a giant purple spectral apostrophe across your character.

Video of bound armaments.

Bound Armaments is a skill I use on a lot of my builds and I'm already tired of looking at it. Here are some suggestions for improving the visual effect of bound armaments.

- Remove it because it looks bad.
- Change it into a hurricane/storm colored version of the new Bound Aegis

If ZOS really wanted to make a much needed change they could have the whole Bound Armor line passively give either magicka or stam just for being on your bar and the active effect be extra heavy attack damage, or some kind of defensive ability like Minor Protection, or a multitude of other potential short term buffs. The real payoff is we wouldn't have to look at the current Bound Armament graphic 100% of the time in normal play.

    Oh man! I love it. Like... the magicka one is ace! I admit the stamina version is distracting more than helpful, but if you like to focus on spell power instead you get cool glowing eyes, mystical black smoke and purple energy. I think it's the best animation to date for it, imo. But then I am biased, I wasn't fond of the old armours.

    I don't like it either, especially the eye effect on Bound Aegis. It makes my sorcerer look like he's been possessed by something and the eyes aren't even lined up properly.

    I actually like the bound aegis graphic. It's not distracting to me, especially cause you're usually watching your toons backside so you don't see the glowing eyes. Armaments on the other hand is incredibly distracting and pointless.

    I like the visual of Bound Aegis - it looks cool on a sorcerer.
    Good replacement for the former Inner Light visual effect (glowy eyes and hands).
