New Special Visual Effects on Gear Sets

Funka420 · August 2014

I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in after patch 1.3.3 to see that my Sanctuary Set has a really cool visual effect when I have all 5 pieces equipped. When running around ungrouped, I have 3 green glowing orbs floating and swirling around me. When grouped and within 10 meters of my group member, the number of orbs increases! It looks really cool.

I was wondering if anyone has noticed any other fun visual effects stemming from gear sets since the patch?

Able to post this image of the effect now that I am home.

I too, am curious as to which sets have cool visual effects. They only show up when you have the full 5 pieces, right?

For the Sanctuary Set, If I take one of the 5 items off, the visual effect of the green orbs disappears. I can only guess that it might be the same for other sets. I would also be curious if it is something unique to looted sets vs. crafted sets. Crafted sets would be easy to test.

Probably depends on the Effect. I am wearing two 5/2 sets, but I don't see any special visual effects, other than my armor is kind of shiny. But that could be from improving it.

This is awesome! Encourages me to go out and find one.

I am thinking that sets with visual effects will probably only be noticed when getting the full 5 item bonus, since that is the way the one I discovered worked. Good thing there is more guild store access to find items in the looted sets, making it easier to make a 5 item set

I was wondering what that was, I saw someone in the bank with those green balls but they were AFK so I couldn't ask how they got it.
I've noticed my gear starts to glow red some times, which it didn't do before, I will have to experiment to see if it's related to the set I'm wearing

I think they added visual effects for the procs that occur from the 5 item bonus's, so maybe that could be associated with your red glow. I want to know if there are more sets that have a constant visual like the green orbs.
