About the esthetic part of DK inferno ability

When I unlocked the inferno ability I really liked its looks (a ball of flames floating around you) and the thing with toggling it and it working like some kind of a weak auto turret that damages and slows down enemies. With the Thieves guild update the ability will no longer be a toggle that does not drain magicka, but an ability that gives bonuses just for being slotted. It costs magicka if we want to spawn the flame aura (ball of flames) that damages enemies on PTS, and the flame aura now only last 15 seconds and then disappear. This is far more useful than the pre Thieves guild inferno and I understand the changes to inferno coming with the update, but I am not that hardcore and too skilled player and sometimes I just use inferno for the looks. After the update this won't be doable any more. So, would it be possible for giving us an another toggle option for the esthetic part of the inferno ability, so we could just spawn a not damaging fireball that doesn't use up magicka and just floats around us?

    Slightly off topic but is the flame aura now a dot damage aoe type skill or still just fires a few fire balls?

    No, it's not considered as a DoT. You get three direct hits per activation...and it hits quite hard ;-)

    The ability name is a bit silly compared to the animation.

    It used to be flames engulfing the player anf so 'inferno' was apt.

    'Candle' would be better with the current animation.

    And also I hate smart arses but:

    Risky to rely on free/American dictionaries.

    I love new inferno, with 2.5k spell dmg it dealt 4k dmg (crit) in pvp which is nice! Also decloak NBs, and its active for 15s. Definitly I will use it as my decloaker and crit booster (greater range than mag light).

    The small ball of flame did look kinda neat when i had it slotted while leveling it(i'm a completioninst :)).

    Maybe they could reintroduce the old persistent effect through memento or pet mechanics eventually.

    Something like that would be perfect because it wouldn't affect the current mechanics in any way.

    Also somewhat off topic but Frawr what did you mean with using free/American dictionaries being risky? The link you provided me with also says that esthetic is an US variation of aesthetic.

    For all of you nit-picking at each other for using two different variations of the same word...

    Communication has two key components: 1. One side attempts to convey a message to the other. 2. The other side attempts to understand the message being conveyed.

    If both of these attempts are successful, spelling is irrelevant. All that matters is that the point gets across.

    Actually there are 4 key components:

    1. Emitter
    2. receiver
    3. message
    4. channel

    But you're right, you need just to convey meaning... the rest it is just flavor


    edit: regarding the post quiestion... a green or red flame should do the trick

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    I never thought about that and since stamina DKs will use poison as a main element in the next update, a green flame would go really nice with it. Like the thing with costumes and sorcerers with their bound armour, I guess it is not that hard to implement it and it would be a nice cosmetic feature.
