Please change visuals of Shadow Flare (ACN slow 'bubble')

[Steeled]

Can we please have a few changes to the effects of Shadow Flare? While it should be very visible, it presently can be difficult to see red effects "under" it, and in tight camera situations, it's quite difficult to see through it.

Something like a giant blue clock face (with a blue circle), and to also lose the dome effect. This is the only (or one of very few) effects that isn't just ground based, and I don't understand why.

Visuals comparison

SCH protective bubble:



Shadowflare:



Obviously, the dogs don't do any red attacks.. but yeah. One is quite easy to see through, and the other is a menace.. Sometimes red is projected on top of shadowflare's floor, but that's rare.

So please, remove the bubble overtop and lighten/change the floor. Identical to the protective bubble, but with a clock face would be great.

No way shadow flare is like my favorite effect

Or simply have telegraphed attacked always appear ontop of everything else.

If they change Shadowflare then they need to change Holy spell.

I'd like not to go blind during lvl 45+ Fates with 15 WHM's casting Holy.

I too have had some troubles with Shadow Flare and other moves with lasting graphics, particularly in Wanderer's Palace. The tonberry stalkers are particularly hard to see through all these effects, which seem to darken the background to the point where the stalkers blend in.

In Beta Flaming Arrow was exactly the same, but was toned down for obvious reasons

Of course you dont, your not standing in melee where your putting it :P

The cone displays should simply be shown on top.

They already nerfed the visuals of bard's ground AoE and now it looks terrible. leave shadow flare alone and just make the AoE cones draw on top.
