I think I like the current Arcane Missiles animation better.
Yeah that's what sucks, I've been saying for a while now we need an UI option to hide all friendly fire spell effects. Granted we can turn all effects down but that also turns down hostile effects too, sometimes it makes it really hard to see whats under your feet when all you can see is the constant barrage of friendly fire under/near you.
Love the new frost animations particularly blizzard.
Oh my, it's gorgeous. And just like I said, the effect is progressing with cast bar around the target, not yourself.
Here's it in gif form.
Also, Arcane Power was changed from that 13 year old crap to a new juicy overlay + hand glow.
Frost Nova now uses the same new animation (not visual effect) as Arcane Explosion.
Rune of Power uses the same new animation as hardcast Pyroblast, Flurry, Blizzard, etc.
Arcane Familiar now looks different, like orb of power Imperator Margok style.
And Mirror Images now teleport to you with an afterglow for a few seconds

That is awesome. Lazers are being charged.
I do wish Arcane Blast was a projectile instead, but this is still gorgeous
I wonder if we'll even be able to see the spell effect on Kil'Jaden sized raidbosses.

Which is a shame because it doesn't seem like Arcane will get the new Pyroblast/Flurry animation for any of their spells.

GOD YES.
Finally. Really awsome spell effects, i love Arcane Blast, i think it fits the theme while still keeping it a travel-less spell.
I was not even hoping anymore for an Arcane Power change, and i am SO glad i was proven wrong. It's one of the strongest cds in the game and it always felt so underwhelming... not THAT'S what being empowered feels like.
I am BLOWN AWAY but what Blizzard did with this, that has always been considered the "ugliest and less meaningful" amongst all spells in the game.
Now it's possibly the coolest.
