I’ve been a fan of aether lightning theme since vanilla and now the expac finally has a class skill with actual aether lightning support. I mean sure I noticed some cool Aether Lightning support in skill mods as well but a class skill is special imo
I tried it and was disappointed, performance is something I am still testing. But my biggest gripe atm is with the visuals of the skill. The skill’s visual remain same despite picking the transmuter.
I expected to see Green Lightning and all I see is the same lame blue lightning despite the transmuter
How is this skill different from Flame of Ignafar or Albrecht’s Aether Ray? I noticed any skill mod that pertains to them is able to cause visual changes but mods for other skills don’t have any visual effects
What Zantai is saying is that effect changes are manually designed and in the case of storm box, because storm box scales with level, multiple variants of a new effect would need to be made. Changing AAR is actually very simple as AAR isn’t even an effect, just a texture.
That sounds like an awful lot of work. But considering how we lack any green lightning class skills I hope you guys consider it or come with some other solution for a different skill
Currently we only have Legendary item that has green lightning I am disappointed the treatment aether lightning builds have received in the expac. While skill mods support such builds, the “visual effects part” of the build has been disregarded a lot. The visually appealing procs such as Aether Lightning on the new Mythic Gloves or the granted skill on amulet are restricted to epics which rarely fit high end builds or appear on extremely hard to obtain affixes
I hope you guys will consider treating aether lightning procs similarly to PRM procs like how PRM was added to Legs/Mythics in the expac (In Vanilla it was restricted to greens and epics much like Aether Lightning is now)
Yeah his second post made it clear why it would be tough for Storm Box. But thanks for chipping in
