The graphic that shows a red circle around our Barbarian when u cast this skill doesnt show anymore, but the effect "anti stun" still applies.
So it has no graphics AT ALL
b:cry

It's a bit annoying cause u dont realize if u used the skill or not for lunar pulling, etc...

    The Holy Path graphic effect (AKA the purple circle) does not show when you use the skill. In addition to that I'm not getting any sound effect from the skill either.

    EDIT: It apparently is happening to all (or most) genie skills. Derp to me for not checking the others. Unfortunately I can't change the title of the thread either D:

    EDIT: Also happening with other player skills, such as Wizard's Elemental Shell and Soporific Whisper.

    The animation is also gone for archers' elven, condor, and awaken skills.

    I noticed that both fox form and human form's Myriad Rainbow no longer have animations. I understand that fox form's is a bit obnoxious when used in a full group (but I like it) and that it may have some hazards for people sensitive to light. Was just wondering if this was intentional or if it was a mistake. When I read over the patch notes I didn't see anything on it.

    Having this in mind as well perhaps make clear this thread includes a lot of skills lacking animations, not only holy path/genie skills, but also class' skills.

    Should be reported in the quality corner. Some archer skills and genie skills lack animations too so I doubt it was done on purpose.

    Yea, so far as I've seen archer skills Elven Alacrity and Awaken have no visual effect.

    Genie skills earthflame, cloud eruption, and holy path also have no visual effects. I'm sure there are many more missing. I'd consider this a serious issue.

    So far since this weeks maintenance (04/15/14), I've noticed several graphical errors with my Archer's skills. I've only been on for a few minutes so far, and as of now I can see that:
    -> The cloud-like animation that appears around my character when I use Awaken is no longer there.
    -> The cloud-like animation that appears around my character when I use Elven Alacrity is no longer there.
    -> The blue animation when I use Blessing of the Condor is no longer there.
    -> The sparkly dome after effect of Wings of Protection is no longer there.
    These are just a few things I've noticed while being online



    Are Archers the only class with this glitch? Or are other classes being effected as well?
    Whatever it is, please fix it b:surrender

    I think we can just say all instant-channeling skills in the game have lost their casting animation
    EDIT: Nevermind, it seems random which classes were effected. None of the archer instant skills have animations.

    False, inner harmony did not. The rest I didnt really pay attention, though I think wolf emblem didn't either.

    99% of genie skills no longer have animation or sound. I assume myriads got glitched similar to genie skills.

    Oh well, worth it to be able to summon pets in the air. :/

    I play with zero effects so I hadn't noticed until someone pointed it out.

    Come to think of it, I did notice some missing animations but thought nothing of it... I only played my Barb and BM since the patch and some of the skills mentioned so far I'm pretty sure are missing.

    So today, I got two skills that are mentioned in the title from Morai. Learned them off in Archo just to find out that the skills don't have any form of animation. Apart from that, skills seem to work just fine.

    Were your effects lowered, by chance?

    Human form myriad rainbow has a pretty subtle animation that's easy to miss when not looking for it. It's just a small dark dot above the target's head. Fox form's version is a far more obvious swirling rainbow, but if effects aren't up on one of the higher two settings then it won't be visible.
