Looks like SOE did the right thing waiting on getting spell effects right. The new ones are a big improvement over what we had before generally. Some area little overdone like Healing Water or the ranger cold nuke, i.e. too big, too bright, too long, but in general they're a great update.

Seems like our cold nuke line, our magic DOT line, our PBAE line and the 2 quest spells Healing Water and Pureblood. What other spells do we get that use new effects?

I don't have input on other spells but I can't say enough how much I LOVE the Moonfire effect. :)

And the DoT line is pretty nifty too. :)

My favorite is definitely the new magic dot effects.

I think the one you are talking about L1ndara is the ranger cold nuke, the one that is a pillar of white light. Although it maybe a bit bright, I absolutely love it. This is how I always wished spell effects to go. Bard spells are no longer filling the screen, the Torpor line of spells are brilliant. Our magic DoT line finally has an effect that suits it.

I would wish they put the leafy Skin like Wood effect in, I never got to see it except in screenshots. And it did look very cool.

Have you guys seen the Wake of Karana effect? WAY COOL.

I love that spell just because it's a fun spell. Other night in PoS I was turning off the rain. Hubby had spell effects on and said "Did someone cast something on you?" I said "No, just did rain off". We did it again, sure enough effect we saw was for WoK.

When cast, you have rain clouds floating over your head.

Moonfire is my fav so far. :)

Hmm, for some reason my epic looks like it's casting root when I use it. Is this a bug?

You have to be reaaaaaaaly close to see it, I never knew it was there till I was in a group and cast winged death on a rooted mob close while the tank was beating on another and saw it... had to cast it 3 more times to make sure I saw what I saw :P

The spell effect on the epic is left over from when there was a snare component to it.
