Rework on animations: Hurricane- Sorc/Coagulating blood Dk

Animation of skills such as DK's blood coagulation and Sorc's hurricane are the classes that have the least aesthetically creative buffs in the game, due to the fact that they only make the character transparent (This is terrible for those who spend time making visuals). I think it could be improved in the same way you made the jabs more beautiful.

    Please do not let the person who turned jabs into shovel pokes touch anymore animations.

    But yes the coagulating blood animation looks really bad and could use a change, it turns every DK into a floating beating heart for the entirety of combat lol.

    It is not possible for you to make a mistake in a buff animation, as an attack animation is even justifiable...

    They just don't change the buff mechanics, just animation.

    I'm hoping more people notice this so we can gain traction, because I believe it's a universal desire, no one likes the animation of these buffs.

    Please change these animations, they're cool but definitely a hindrance more than anything. Keep sorcs transparent during streak/morphs or casting bound aegis for a second and call it a day.

    100% this. I always replace hurricane on my stam sorc because it’s a real pain for eyes. only “winds” around the character (may be with few sparkles like from surge) would be more than enough to fit the thematic of the skill. or at least give us a setting to hide transparent/bright effects.

    As someone whom have put considerable affort into my sorc fashion, and uses hurricane, I disagree with sentiment that hurricane visual effect renders my fashion work meaningless. And I like current effect of it, and would prefer to keep it.

    I guess this would be a prime candidate tho for some skill stylings in the future.

    Cannot speak on the DK stuff, didn't play it.

    I like current effects of Hurricane and Coagulating Blood. If there will be options so every player can customize their own effects - that's great. But I would be very sad to see another cool visual thing ruined without a choice...

    I'm already heartbroken about new sad look for Flurry, Biting Jabs, and removal of black "living shadow" skin for vampire stealth :'( I also miss permanently glowing eyes of my mag sorcerer. No matter how much time passes, I always remember about such cool things which made game more fun.

    Please, add ability to use all new idle animations on every mount!

    Please, fix the bugged lights! They ruin visuals of environment and mounts.

    I agree. An option to remove the spooky blue ghostification on hurricane would be amazing. I love stamsorc but I HATE the transparent effect of hurricane.
    Struggling to find a new class to call home.Please send help.
