Explosion effect could potentially cause epilepsy at high levels.
I just got done with a high-tier artificer run and had some ridiculously high explosion size... and it started to get painful to my eyes. Luckily, I'm not affected by flashing lights, but I'm also playing on an HDR monitor, and it's ridiculously bright at half-screen size, not to mention it's a fast effect.

My recommendation would be to somehow change the explosion effect from just a white circle, to a fade-out or off-white transparent circle, or even a basic explosion texture or something. As it is right now, it could cause issues.

Game is tons of fun, so I don't want to see potential health problems crop up form something silly like this for other players.

Also you can turn off screen shaking.

Screen shaking never bothered me, but it's already off. It's specifically the explosion bubble, which I guess yeah I could turn it off, but it could also be something slightly more fun to look at :P

Potential health problems. Jesus Christ dude then don’t use explosions, easy answer.

My issue with the explosion effect on Artificer builds is that once the build gets crazy enough you cant see half the map anymore, the mobs are hidden under the explosions and some stronger ones just pop out of the effect right in your face lmao
