I think they do not need to put it over the new effects... i think it would be better if they give the wing for the spells with aoe or something like that... or give it to basic spells like acid, cold and rot... an old orange phoenix could look good on the top of acid, the blue could look good on the top of cold and maybe a green could look good on the top of the rot spell animations. Or maybe they can use the old effect for very high level healing spells... example: You fly up in the air, and as you reach the top, you get wings before releasing the spell bolt... like an angel.

I've only seen the wings in screenshots, but they do look good.

I kind of agree they should be added for very very high spell levels, maybe 200+

Although, I'm not sure I like the idea of wings being on both healing and elemental spells. It seems nice to have the fx totally unique from tree to tree and skill to skill. And so, whereas I like the elemental animations, I think it'd be better just for healing, as there's nothing special about those fx currently.

There's actually a bit of a "nod" to the wings animation, imbedded within the current heal animation. It's difficult to see if you do a complete casting, but if you cancel the spell shortly after it's begun you'll see abstract wings form above your head in a pointilist design.

Oh, and I like the current visuals for the spell, even though the wing effect might be nice as an additional layer to it.

That does sound mighty schweeeet :)

But - now that there are more people at high level ele than back then - would the visuals of a team engagement maybe end up looking overly "busy", perhaps?

hehehe, i´ve only seen them on screenies too. but the look awesome
but i really think that wings should be for healing, a red for HP, green for Sap, etc.(and maybe black for vampire its a sort of healing after all)

the spinning when i heal makes me really dizzy, please make it stop
