    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

    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
