What is that power?

[Aeroprism]

Hey guys.

 

Currently playing Provost Marchand's line of quest on a blueside mid 30s.  

 

I'm travelling with three NPCs: Pendragon, Grant Creston and Aurora Pena.  One of them repeatedly uses a power that starts a bit like Earth Control's earthquake but that shakes the whole motherfriggin screen for a solid 6-8 seconds like my monitor is having a baby with a smoothie blender.

 

It. Is. Irritating.

 

(Can't wait to see the baby)

You can turn that shake off,

Options > Controls > Mouse > Camera Shake 

 

Why it was put there in the options I have no earthly idea

[Aeroprism]

Thank you SO much!

It's Pendragon using it by the way.  One of his sword skills is basically an Earth Shatter attack.  I think it's supposed to be his signature attack of sorts, but it certainly is overblown.

I run into most when doing Dark Astoria and Sister Solaris arc. The Talons of Vengeance have a power (Thunderclap, I think) that does extreme camera shake. 

[ZemX]

The one that the Talos do that annoys the shit out of me is... I don't know what it is.  I call it.. "fill my entire camera view with a cascade of dirt" power.   I don't think there's another power in the game that completely obscures the whole screen when it is fired at you.  But that one does.

I remember in Everquest the first time I had blind cast one me. The entire screen went black except for the ui.

[TombTyrant]

I just discovered this for the first time myself.

[Aeroprism]

With camera shake disabled, it`s entirely tolerable, great suggestion.  I'm kicking myself a little for not thinking about it myself.

I always have camera shake disable.  Love that option.
