Overall, I like this, but agree it could be improved. The spiky bit works well with the ice effect, but as a ground effect I think most players are used to seeing big blocks of earth (eg, when Hulk hammers the ground) then spiky spikes come out. […]


Absolutely. The spikes don't really match with the shock wave + stun effect GS seems to deal.
I'd assume the 3D spikes also help with the vfx feedback we need to spot the skill range/damage area - especially on different levels.

And as I sometimes play with great GS spammers, I'm feeling there gonna be some visual mess amplification ;)

Thanks for the updated vfx!

Im playing a Grdounslammer with 4.5 Atks/sec. Do I now need to switch builds so ppl in parties wont lag?

Implement the old one for 20 points to buy. Please.

I was thinking about the overcrowded visual effects with all those new spikes/stalagmites poping at a high rate and mixed with all the party members skills (mix w/ Incinerate and stuff = we won't see sh**).

The performance hit should not be that hard. GGG and Russell certainly have tested the new vfx in different conditions. Let's hope so ^^

And gratz for 4.5 aps! That must be fun! BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BL…!

Will it throw mobs up? At least a bit?
Spikes seem a really odd visual cue for ground slam (unless they are not spikes, but unearthed tree roots :)

(but this will make me resume working on my GS mara in invasion, for sure :)

I like it, much clearer to see the AoE now =)
Good thing to match the real AoE, but I don't like the spike effect at all for a skill that's called ground slam.
SO Freakin' cool!

Overlapping is a problem in itself which could be solved pretty easly be having an option to simplify party-member skills in their appearance (like done by lots of other MMO/RPG)

My only worry is it might be too "busy" and crowd the screen.

I value being able to see what's going on and don't really like spells that are too flashy, or colorful, or just too visually imposing.

I don't want it to drown out the mobs.
