For example, my brother plays a Shaman, a class which has great visual spell effects, yet there are a lot of them that just don’t appear on my screen. However what I’ve found out recently with WoW is that many cool spell effects are hidden to other players - and this really bugs me. I spend the VAST majority of my time playing with my friends and family and doing dungeons, where graphical problems like this much less of a concern.
So ways to reduce graphical intensity are much appreciated when I’m doing big raid content. Just to preface this topic - I play on a computer that struggles to run some raids without putting the settings down to really low.
