What are your favorite spell particle graphics? Least favorite?
 

Thread topic right in the title! I know you love those classic sparkles! :D

Favorite: Undead nukes and the Coldain ring clicky
Least favorite: invisibility/gate bubbles

Bonus favorites: Ground Bloom and Happy Panda fireworks

I like the disease dots necros have, and splurt how they cascade a huge stream of I-dont-know-what onto the mob for many seconds long it's cool looking!

My least favorite, now this might just be cuz of the sound too, is canni. Weird cloudy green shit poofing around the shaman with that awful sound accompanying it. Hate it.

Fav: Wiz Harvest, all them blue sparkles that fly off sideways. Rangers have it too, Call of Sky proc I think

Least: 2nd vote for gate/invisible bubbles

best: Enchanter - Choke line and Int caster - fire bolt line

worst: cannibalize/necro sk fd/pal divine might

When did ice comet actual comet graphic come into play?

Always liked this one too.

Not a fan of the Manna Robe clicky with all the skulls floating about.

Fear. The 3D effect of the skulls is still pretty great. Bind Affinity still looks amazing.

I read somewhere that Verant contracted an outside developer to create the particle effects and whoever that was did an outstanding job in that era of computer graphics.

The uhh, the buff one!... you know the one! it was always cool to clearly see what level ( ish ) someone was depending on if it was green, green and orange or green orange and blue! It's also the prettiest so there

My favorite: Druid evac spell line graphics. Like the poster mentioned before me, the level 39+ buff graphic is pretty nice as well. Easily my second favorite!

Least favorite: see invis seems kinda blah to me.

On a side note, my favorite during true classic was the healing graphic. If I recall correctly it had the same graphic we have here on p99, but it also had these big blue bubble effects when the heal landed. My memory on the timeline could be wrong I suppose. I definately remember it being that way a long time ago! :)

Oh and btw ROLL TIDE!!!

My favorite is invis because of the subtle blue sparkle that happens with the iconic bubbles.

My least favorite is undead nuke because it feels insubstantial
