Got one for Rogue? Their epic has such a tiny particle effect that I wonder what it would look like cranked it up.

I can barely see the rogue epic particle effect on p99, am I the only one?

The Rogue epic has a particle effect but it's very small. That's how it was on live, too.

Could be my foggy memory, but wasn't the poison dripping a green or yellow color?

Aye, it was a green poison that dripped every so often. I remember you couldn't even notice it unless you went into first-person and looked at it up close. Poor Rogues got hosed on that one.

That's what I thought. Its a grey color on P99, right?

It's greenish-yellow. I believe the particle is the same one used for some old spells (the lifetap and shrink bubbles).

I was a little wrong about the particle before: it seems like you can do some stuff with it, but it's hardcoded to only appear if the camera is really close up to the weapon. It also seems like everything about it scaled way down (presumably to make the originally-decent-sized particle look tiny). Example here.

Unrelated: some of the PoP-era stuff use a negative velocity value to make particles appear to be drawn in toward the weapon. Neat.

Why does everything think that particles magically make weapons look cool? Rogues got exactly what they asked for, a nice looking weapon that isn't flashy. The Burning Rapier used to have a big light source effect, I think, which made quite a few rogues angry and they complained about it to get it changed. Ragebringer obviously was designed w/ that subtle RP rogue sensibility in mind and it's my favorite weapon design.

It's almost like I was only talking about the particle effects, the topic of this entire thread.
