I don’t know if you are still looking to work on this or not, I really like what you have done so far and keeping in mind what you said about creating dependent effects, I always look to see where I think there could be some minor changes that might be possible that will help the overall feel.
Playing through with a pistol build and having flame touched/iskandras, or even Aura of Conviction on; make the “shots” from your pistols/guns look far worse with the large trails/bullets. I personally find the much smaller trails of a “normal” ranged weapon that have lightning/chaos dmg etc to be much more crisp and rewarding when shot.
I wonder if you can could lessen the visual change that these auras make to ranged shots trails. If you are interested in looking at that, and I can do anything to help please let me know.
