Sanctum ophidia poison AoE

So (for some time) now that vHRC has been slightly altered there is only one base game trial that I think needs some adjustments.

The poison AoEs from trolls are not that important to have a filled red circle around the infected character.
Instead it should have just the outer ring similar to the Skeever bodies in Scalecaller Peak.

Other AoE attacks such as Overcharge and Call Lightning have a much higher threat and they need to be much more visible to the players.
Instead they get lost in the sea of red poison AoEs.

I think if this simple change gets implemented, SO might become more attractive to newer players.
Let's face it. Experienced players that know all about Overchargers have no motivation to play vSO for the XYth time.

    Popcorn is the reason why most people don't do vSO

    Popcorn is dodgeable and can be and must be called out by raid lead.
    Also, good positioning will reduce the threat of popcorn.

    Yes, it is still a tricky mechanic.

    Exactly, I can count on my fingers the number of times I did vSO, while vAA and vHRC I did so many times I can do it blindfolded.

    @ZOS_Finn and his team did a wonderful job by revamping some old mechanics in Bloodroot Forge and other dungeons to make for more obvious telegraphs of abilities so that players can have time to identify and react to abilities.

    I am sure ZOS can look at the numbers, and see that vSO i far behind vHRC and vAA in number of clears.
    I think it wouldn't take a lot to polish this great trial.

    Its a long trial with very dangerous mechanics throught. That is the real reason. VSO is great for new groups to test thier mettle agianst a non-dlc trial that has true hazards for every role. I never want them to touch this trial, other than the bug that sometimes troll poison stops damaging will out of combat then bursts the catch up damage on the player wiping them. That bug is ugly but is dormant currently. Everything else is a test and shouldn't be nerfed. vHRC was made into a joke and you can cheese the final boss of AA, please please please don't *** this trial too.

    I am not advocating for nerfs...

    I just want the poison AoE to have a different telegraph: red ring instead of red circle.

    I thought it was the part where that trial absolutely murders your framerate on console and any mid-spec PC...

    vSO is great for RP. Everyone go skeleton polymorph and hear 12 skeletons screech in chorus from poison damage. It's hilarious.
