I hate the look of Thermal & Cold Dom

Am I the only one who just can't bring himself to take Thermal Radiation or (to a lesser extent) Cold Domination because of their lackluster appearance? The animations for Thermal, especially when the colors are manipulated, are just painfully bad, and because both sets offer shields, it becomes impossible to team without having to constantly look at those effects.

I'm wondering if there are others, like me, who hated the looks of these sets, but who managed to find a color combination which appealed to them?

I don't like flaming balls circling me if that helps, being incased in ice isn't really appealling either.
Alternate animations would be nice,but, it's not going to kill me.

I just like the buffs, although sonic resonance big bubble with the squiggle lines makes me go into seizures.

ok


Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

A dark blue/purple works well for minimising the impact of Ice Shields I've found.

Not sure there's an equivalent for the fire shields though

selecting the darkest shade of grey will be the least obtrusive (with the "bright fire" for thermal). Not much can be done about the floating bits though.



Thank you, Champion.
