Tendrils of Fear - How Can I Turn It Off?

[iciss19]

<DIV>I just got this spell and the graphic is about to give me a seizure, is there a way to turn it off?  I tried various stuff under options but no dice.</DIV><p>Message Edited by iciss1969 on <span class=date_text>12-17-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:08 PM</span>

Click the hotbar icon again and it should turn off. if not, find the icon for it in the maintained spell list, right click, and turn it off. <div></div>

<DIV>Sorry, I just want to kill the graphic, not the spell itself.</DIV>

I can't answer your question but... Im surprised you want the effect off. I always hear people asking what the cool effect is of Tendrils - and love it when I cast it on them in a group <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Course since I have it on me when I am soloing or not grouping, I always have the wicked second shadow shift occuring all the time and since only have defilers have that effect... Well tis great for my char anyway <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<DIV>Maybe I'm getting the shadow shift thing then.  It also shows up when I cast it on my wifes wizard though.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Basically it is really really hard to look at to the point where I can't tell if its a graphics glitch or what, but it happens on two separate machines for either character.  When we're duoing she won't even let me cast it on her lol.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>edit "I always hear people asking what the cool effect is of Tendrils " -- what is it supposed to look like when its working properly anyway?</DIV><p>Message Edited by iciss1969 on <span class=date_text>12-18-2005</span> <span class=time_text>06:14 AM</span>

/hi turns off graphical illusions.  I used it alot on my SK back when of our buffs turned us into a skeleton.  Cool effect but the maniacal giggle every time I swung the sword wore thin fast. <div></div>

I'm already using /hi so I dont see the wraith form illusion, it doesnt work for Tendrils.

Nope hide illussion does not turn it off. Nothing does short of not using the spell at all. Sorry <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Yes - I have hide on for the most part to get rid of wraith form but tendrils effect still shows... for the poster asking.. its the momentary shimmer and you see a second 'you' flicker behind you.. thats it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<DIV>I love the questions I get about that spell.  I was in poets a few weeks ago with my normal SK tanking (keep in mind I'm usually grouepd with him and usually have that spell on him)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>he stops the entire group for about 5 min and kept asking every few seconds "what is that"  "there it is again"  "don't you guys see that"  "wait there it is again"  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>By the time I finally stop laughing I explain to him its my buff on him.  I don't know how he has grouped with me for a few months and never noticed it before but was quite funny when he thought he was going crazy and seeing things.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>btw to the orginal poster, I have no idea how to turn it off.  I can't stand it when I'm soloing and hate having it on me.  It would be nice if there was a way you could turn it off.</DIV>

most graphics "scale" in the game to the performance setting.  if he tanked on "extreme perfomance" he might have not noticed it.  i think Tendrils starts to display at the next setting up.  it's REAL pronounced visually on balanced. <div></div>

<P>I started a thread on one of the main boards, praying a redname looks at it.</P> <P><A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=spells&message.id=2829#M2829" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=spells&message.id=2829#M2829</A></P>
