New Legion Hunter Spell Effects.

Glad to hear that it's a confirmed bug! Not that it's surprising. It's just nice to know.

I agree, I wasn't so hot to the idea of being half transparent. I mean they took our full transparency after all! *still salty about her camo being taken*

I'm personally not all that interested in SV after playing it for a little on the Alpha, that and I picked a Hunter to have a pet and be ranged, but some of the new effects look really cool, others... meh, and some... er Wth?



The explosive trap and dragonfire trap explosions look amazing when they trigger, the multiple versions of smoke plumes, the grenade scatter, the glowing shrapnel shards scattering across the ground, REALLY well done imo, look great.



The melee abilities are a little safe/flat in general for my liking. Raptor strike, and Mongoose Bite could really had some animal influences in them to make them Stand out/pop.



The Harpoon on the other hand is the opposite of WTH? It's kind of cool to add a bird kind of flying you to your target, but whats a bird got to do with a harpoon? And also why use the fire/storm crow model, which is...

a) Not even an eagle (given that SV uses the eagle spear)
b) Not a tamable model
c) and is so large and solid it adds a mass of visual clutter blocks the view of your own toon to use it.

I get it, and it kind of looks cool, but makes no sense (or rename Harpoon) and the effect overall just looks a little poorly executed and animated.

That said, yes it is alpha, everything is still a work in progress, and some are probably not finished., but that just my thoughts anyways

About the bird, maybe the artifact weapon is mucking with it? I'm almost positive I saw something about the artifact weapon itself having sort of effect on the usage of Harpoon, I think some sort of bleed effect.

Edit: The toons they're using may be level 110 premade characters with all the PVP talents unlocked too. I feel like I saw a PVP talent that also messed with Harpoon.

You could well be right. I did just have a good look, but couldn't see anything that suggested a hawk spell/influence should be popping due to harpoon, but I could have missed something too.

Still hanging to see what else they come up with for the other specs over all.

Eagles Bite - Harpoon applies On The Trail, a unique dot that deals x damage over 12 secs and is refreshed by auto attacks, Likely what the last effect is. It's at the top of the artifact wep tree, has an icon that is.. a fortune cookie for some odd reason?
