Please revert "Rapid Maneuver" Weapon glow visual effect + my suggested fix.

yes i know it might seem like a dumb request, but:
prior to patch 5.1 the "Rapid Maneuver" ability only had those yellow glowing lines as a visual effect.
currently on live you've also added a weapon glow visual effect.
I have a couple of problems with this change:
1. since i like to play the game without addons or buff timers (i'm a minimalist), i tend to use the visual effects as an indicator for when i have the buffs "Major brutality" and "Major sorcery", this visual effect overrides this, and i have no idea when these said buffs are active (they also appear as "white" glowing weapons)
2. this visual effect last for the whole 30 seconds of the "Major Gallop" portion, making it extremely long..
one change i would suggest that will benefit everyone is this:
the glowy yellow lines worked well enough for the last few years as an indicator for the major gallop buff, and there is no reason to add a weapon glow effect on top of it.
HOWEVER: since you have changed the skill to add Major\Minor expedition for the first 8 seconds of the buff, a cool solution will be to leave the "White" weapon glow for the first 8 seconds of the duration, it will let us know when these buffs drop off, then the ability can go on for the rest of it's remaining 22 seconds (major gallop) with the glowing yellow lines alone.
this will assist us in recasting the ability to renew the Major\Minor expedition buff (if this is the buff we are interested in - like in a trial setting for example)
hope you take my proposal into consideration, thanks in advance!

✭✭✭✭✭any chance to get this addressed this PTS round?
a man can dream
It's a reasonable request, @Baraber ... but unfortunately not the greatest timing.
With only 2-3 weeks of PTS left, you're asking ZOS to make the change, evaluate player feedback (including yourself) on the PTS, and then include in the patch. That's not enough time.
Definitely not your fault, but about half the discussion threads in PTS aren't anything related to the actual content coming out.
It's mostly rude players asking for their class to be buffed or changed (or a class they don't play to be nerfed or changed) ... while ignoring actual PTS testing of new content or ZOS-initiated combat changes.
My best recommendation is to repost this in another subforum so there's better visibility.

Tnx for the suggestion!
A part of me is sure this will probably go ignored, game's got bigger issues, new content and all of that.
But there is always a chance you know!0
