Greased Lightning Animation Toggle on/off

I understand the animation allows players a visual indicator as to if their greased lightning is up and what level it's at, but I personally find the overall effect rather jarring to look at, specifically the third stack. I'd much prefer see my character performing actions without this overlay effect on all the time. Like how Huton works on Ninja!

Would it be possible to add an option to toggle the animation on/off, even if it's just apparent locally?

I'd like this. The animation can get pretty distracting.

Even though it does have a functional aspect (increasing in size/color with more stacks), I think it gets a little too rambunctious on the third stack. I don't think I've ever used the animation to find how many Greased Lightning stack I have, so maybe an option to turn it off would be useful.

I would rather see something that doesnt smell like poverty:
Even MH for poor PSP nobody remembers anymore had better "Greased Lighting" visual effect.

Don't watch the full video lol, i just wanted you to notice the red effect around the player, that simply looks better than that thing monks currently have...

The greased lightning effect is the best thing about monk. I'd pay 5.99 to have it on all the time even when gl isn't up. Hope SE is inspired by this post

Rly? I luv it.

Did they not add a toggle to disable DRK's Darkside aura which effectively disables other jobs' auras? eg. Wrath, Greased Lightning

Maybe they only addressed DRK's specifically.

If enough ppl got bothered by greased lightning im sure they could. But honestly the reasons in this thread.. wanting to notice the visual animation without greased lightning in the way?

I dont think ppl r bothered by it like with DRK, hell i saw someone say that DRK move hurt their eyes. SE has a lot on their plate tbh, small QoL like this i dont see happening

I think they addressed it by telling you to turn battle effects off period.

I don't particularly hate the animation but I would value the option to turn it on or off. For glamours :P

I love it, its like i'm powered up like a dragon ball z character. It sucks we can't get aura like that final level 60 job quest boss. I want to glow like that.

How goes your Yandere lala girlfriend?

I like the animation. The only issue I've always had with it is how it is poorly displaced above your character model when you're on different mounts

NECRO! Sorry LOL...I can't even play the last two days because of connection issues, but I was bored and thinking about this...I recently wanted to start leveling for Monk, but even after playing Pugilist for a little while in PotD, these eyesore swirlies around my character are already super annoying and making me not want to play the class/job. I don't need a visual indication on my character when there's a gauge that shows how many stacks I have, I wish there was an optional toggle for this visual (without just disabling all effects). I can understand if it was a long cooldown buff that you only have to see once in awhile, but realistically if we're actively playing/fighting and not standing around afk in town this visual is on (or should be on) the ENTIRE time...

...and before anyone attacks me for requesting this, remember I said OPTIONAL. ;) :D

Mine doesnt stay on for very long to be distracting...maybe I need a better rotation

I'd just like the animation to "calm down" when not in combat; to have a 2nd out-of-combat animation.

As a WAR, you get that over the top Wrath animation as long as your beast gauge is over 0 and it's really weird walking/riding mounts around the map or in little settlements with the Wrath Aura on.

Yep, and also why I don't play WAR! :D

Warrior's aura is definitely the most distracting to me as well, a bit too intense for something passively/constantly on.
