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.

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.

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! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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
