I suffer from severe motion sickness and some things in game make me feel physically unwell, this has developed over the last few years and sadly impacts much of my life, even playing WoW!
I play Frost Mage and I love everything about it sadly the icicles mastery visuals trigger my motion sickness. In combat it is fine as I am focussed on the target, but the way the icicles work is that they linger above your head until triggered or expired. The problem being is that it isn’t always possible to trigger them during combat and, as far as I can see, there is no way to remove them as a buff as they are mastery.
I was hoping there was some kind of command like /cancelaura or something that would allow me to dispell them out of combat so I do not have to run around with them. I realise this is a somewhat obscure query but it is directly impacting my gameplay and I love this game. Are you aware of anything that could help in terms of me dispelling them out of combat? They appear as a buff in the top right of the screen but when right clicking you cannot dispell unless they expire or trigger.
There used to be various glyphs to change/hide the appearance of warlocks’ soulshards, but I don’t remember mages having anything similar. And it’s unlikely there is, since they’ve been pretty anti-glyph the last couple expansions. Might be worth making a suggestion/request about it maybe.
Thanks! Definitely no glyph. I was hoping for a slash command that would remove the buff when I type it. In combat it is alright, just out of combat when they’re swirling above and the world is moving it really sets off my motion sickness.
The only other thing I could think of trying is messing around with the graphics settings ingame, maybe see if you can get it to a tolerable level, but as far as removing the icicles completely, no chance I’m afraid
It would be like asking them to change the colour of cobra shot, or make the crows invisible during A Murder Of Crows, it would take a client-side, game-wide change if I’m not mistaken lol.
from only a few days ago, literally just said you want them gone because you find then visually unappealing, got no help so now “claiming” motion sickness for a more favourable response from blizz,
kind of smart, but also super transparent, go delete the older posts or at least wait a month or so if you are going to try things like this
Nah, I’m just used to being told to ‘‘get a grip’’ or ‘‘grow up’’ when I tell people I get severe motion sickness. But thanks for calling me out, made me feel great about myself
This is actually the best response on the thread as it allows you to remove the icicles at the press of a button.
The main problem is it can kinda mess your rotation as it would include you thinking about killing the target with ice lance every time, but you can make it a habit.
Mastery: Icicles
Casting Frostbolt or Flurry grants you an Icicle. Casting Ice Lance causes all Icicles stored to begin launching at the target, each dealing (0.1% of Spell power) Frost damage.
Up to 5 Icicles can be stored. Any excess Icicles gained will be automatically launched.
