Suggestion: Screen shake cap/Screen shake options
I'll try to keep it short (won't happen, I know myself): out of all the poe players I know quite well and actually talk (not write) to, I'm pretty much the only one who uses screen shake. I once heard Chris mention that screen shake is an important tool for storytelling in this game and I agree (innocence emerging for example doesn't have nearly the same impact without screen shake).
However, there is a flaw in the current system and a quite big one at that. The way screen shake stacks with itself. For story scenes hardly relevant, it becomes apparent rather quickly when playing anything remotely crit related. Especially with aoe skills like cyclone, it can get to ridiculous levels. With one of my characters it sometimes felt like the camera was moving by about half a screen's worth of distance. This not only gets really annoying and somewhat disrupts gameplay and/or immersion, but it also drives people away from using screen shake in the first place. My suggestion would be to either introduce a way to set an upper limit for screen shake or make an option to disable it from combat sources. I don't even know if either is possible, but I hope it is. I really like screen shake, but... it is too much at times. To the point where it hurts my eyes and head more than a flicker build. I make dumb builds, therefore I am.

I'd really like a % slider for multiple screenshake effects and have it broken down into categories.
They could take it to extreme like lootfilter, and also have it tone down or mask gore/particle effects, etc. some possibilities to tune it by: *severe critical hit damage dealt to you *death of unique enemy (e.g. map boss) *activation of vaal skill *severe overkill damage dealt (you do 150% or more of the enemies hp in a single attack) right now the implementation is so bad I just disable it entirely because its overused like so many indie games.
