This one fight in Evergreen Bloom has already become my nemesis this season. Bright green effects on a bright green floor.
Do you have problems recognizing where abilities hit in WoW and are overwhelmed by the multitude of effects? Or does it hardly affect you?

Even the pros no longer see what is happening in the raids of World of Warcraft. They have to rely on potions – and that is a big problem.
The best guilds in the world use all tricks to have an advantage in the race for the “World First Kill” of the current final boss Fyrakk. However, some tricks should not be necessary if World of Warcraft did its job better.
Currently, the pros feel compelled to use special potions just to be able to recognize enemy abilities clearly.
What is the problem with the effects? In World of Warcraft, things can get hectic at times. Just a second can separate the group between life and death, as boss abilities can quickly lead to the downfall of the entire raid. Therefore, it is all the more important to immediately recognize enemy abilities and their effects clearly.
Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Many important areas simply vanish in the “effect fireworks” and are hardly recognizable.
Although many abilities can be hidden or their intensity reduced, often not enough is visible. This is particularly the case in the latest raid “Amirdrassil, Hope of Dreams,” so that pros have to rely on a potion.
Potion makes effects more visible, gives raiders an advantage
What kind of potion is this? The “Ink Black Potion” is a potion that can only be purchased during the Darkmoon Faire, which starts on the first Sunday of every month. Many stock up for months, but it can also be sold on the auction house.
Upon consumption, the potion changes the character’s view of the game world, as the so-called “skybox” is exchanged. Depending on the area, this can mean a sky with clouds, sunshine or a burning storm.
However, the potion changes this sky every time to a dark starry sky, which also reduces the light sources in the game. This, in turn, results in the entire game environment being darker, and magical effects shining brighter and more saturated – thus they are effectively much more visible. For example, green spell effects on a green floor can be recognized significantly better, as the floor appears much darker.
This is how the community discusses: In the WoW subreddit, the topic is actively discussed by the community. As an example, the pros from Team Liquid demonstrate the use of the potion in their clips:
The fact that the best guilds in the world see the need to use the Ink Black Potion to recognize abilities more easily simply shows what a problem clarity in battles is in this expansion.
Especially criticized are abilities that announce with a small swirl. These so-called “swirlies” repeatedly cause problems as they are much brighter and more intense in the center but less strong outward. This can make it difficult to determine whether one is still within an ability or not.
In this regard, MauPow states:
You really need to give the swirlies a clearly defined edge. It is so dumb that there is a “You must stand in or out” mechanic where you can’t even see if you are damn well in or out.
