For some reason all of my destruction spells dont show animations (incinerate, chaos bolt etc)
I think we can expect some new ones very soon.
They also updated the visual for soul shards

Glyph of Ember Shards - Your Soul Shards are encased in burning embers above your head. - I think this is a Verdant Spheres glyph or something new but similar.
Glyph of Fel-Touched Shards - Your Soul Shards have been touched by fel energy. - MOP Destro Embers visual.
Glyph of Floating Shards - Your Soul Shards now float above your head. - MOP Affi soul shards visual.
just my quick thoughts.
The new shard UI is better than before but the shape isn't right, it looks more like a gem. However, it does make it much easier to see how close you are to a full shard.
I also have no spell visuals, I hope it's because we have new ones coming but it's probably a bug, why else would they remove the old ones when the new ones aren't ready?

I like the new soul shard UI look.
Most likely Floating Shards is the old Affliction Soul Shard visual and the other two are just recolors of those.
I don't think we're getting Verdant Spheres back since the Fire Mage Phoenix Orbs Ability are obviously meant to evoke the visual of Verdant Spheres.
Would love to get the old Burning Embers visuals back, but I wouldn't count on it. I'd be surprised if the developers even realize that Burning Embers had visual effects.
No changes this PTR, does that mean the mechanical rework is completed? I honestly forgot what their usual MO is with this stuff. Time to see how this'll line up with the real encounters!
Seems we've landed in a pretty good place judging from the PTR, bar some personal gripes.
Seems they switched back to putting their energy into Affliction. Destruction is fixed now that they have embers again, right?
How did destruciton end up in a good spot?
Nothing changed except the resource system. They didnt look at retarded talents and clunky shit mechanics, maintence buffs and zero mobility.
Dunno, maybe 17% buff to all spells and F&B generating retarded amount of shards, which kinda negates lower shards generation and nets 40% CB buff.
The whole Destruction issue in Nighthold is tuning, to be frank. The 17% damage buff across the board alone would suffice, really.
