    Please provide a way to turn off NPC spell effects

    Being relatively photosensitive, I play with player effects mostly limited or off. But after doing a few run-throughs of Hero's Gauntlet I end up leaving with a headache almost every time because those enemy NPC's have all of the flashy effects that I would normally disable on players (because they have the same movesets as we do)

    Yes, I have "Others" set to show none on Character Config > Control Settings > Character Tab

    But the effects still go through.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I've been hoping for such a feature since Lost City HM - the only spell that I'm really sensitive to is Holy. So I'm not playing WHM myself and have the effects of other players turned off. There are mobs in that dungeon who are casting Holy and each time I had to run it, I'd close my eyes during those passages, waiting for someone to tell me that they're dead (or just waiting for battle sounds to stop).

    Being able to turn off or at least down would be really helpful.
