Visual effects of grenades

I've been messing around with grenades, solo grenades or totem grenades and I like the playstyle a lot.
Unfortunately I can't actually play those builds, because the visual effects of the grenades are too intensive and screen cluttering.
Playing a grenade build just leads to a headache for me. I've tried tuning down graphics, but there is no setting that actually makes it less worse for me.

I think that the only way I'll ever be able to play grenades is for the graphics to be changed or tuned down. Because right now, I just can't, which is a shame.

Another example of how a slider for visual intensity of skills would help the game

Do you have screen shake on?

No, that's off... It's not about screen shake tho, it's the intesnity of the colors. It's like looking at fire works close up

Yeah, flash grenades and explosive grenades are awful to look at after some time

I really wish visual clarity and readability of visual effects were the top priority for poe2, i feel like i'm forced to play physical dmg builds bcs everything else is just way too flashy for me

Ground effects are worse than grenade effects...

Mm from my point of view if i need to turn of graphic effects because i don't see what is going on the screen - there is some problem in skill design.

For exmple skill should do more damage and not be so frequently spamable.

I get what you are saying but that is a double edge sword. Due to mob density you need to be able to spam fire it or you increase the damage and aoe size so much it doesn't need to be and then you have a one button press screen wide clear which is not something they want either for some reason.

A visibility slider would work wonders for almost all the visual problems in the game between ground clutter, to after death effects, to skill use, to friends skill use, to map curse/damage effects, etc....

There is just so much going on a slider to pick and choose what you get blinded by would be great.

I played a Tactician this league using grenades so I could drop multiple banners in group play. I mostly only had issues with Oil Grenade and Flash Grenade.

I don't really understand why Persistent ground doesn't let Oil Grenade stay oil but I dropped that skill quickly because I knew it was going to get me killed. Flash was just annoying.

Cluster is just so over the top I laughed every time I used it.
