LOL The first time I tried out this new toy of mine once I got to 50, excited to see the animation, I was wailing to myself "I can't see shit!!!!!!!"

The ball of light doesn't always engulf the character though. It depends on the camera angle, how far you are from the mob, and maybe some other factors. I've been successful in taking a few nice screenshot of my Simian Thrash. Would be great if we can adjust how bright it is though. It's a pretty Weapon Skill, I'd love to see it more often.
