Hi everyone. I was hoping someone could help me identify, and get rid of these weird visual affects that surround my warrior (sword and shield) during combat. One is a yellow or golden glow and the other is a flickering blue flame. I've tried to find what it might be by googling but the only post I could find no one seemed to know if it was caused by Guard, or using Taunt or Challenge or what. So I tried not using those and used only Payback Strike, Shield Bash and Shield Wall. And sure enough there it is.
Reading the guides on Guard it seems to be activated by those abilities but it is indicated by the armor plate sections on your health bar. It doesn't say anything about glowing affects.
Can anyone help me identify exactly what is causing it so I can hopefully avoid it? Hopefully its not Shield Wall, that's why I have a shield at all.
It seems a minor thing but I'm unfortunately one of those gamers who's bothered by little things. Can't help it.
I'm on PS4.
Thanks everyone.

there is an effect that pops up now and then which is a kind of golden glow but that's usually when you level up. Sometimes you get a blue shimmer also as you complete quests in the game. But that's all I can say. But usually they go away after a few seconds

Yellow glow is guard. Whenever you have any amount of guard your character will glow.
I suspect that bluish flames are barrier effects when your mage casts barrier on you.
There isn't a way to disable that since it is core game mechanic. Visual indicators for status effects were present in first two games as well.

A particular shield will give off a turquoise "pulse" (I think the schematic is "The Best Defense") and that's due to the unique ability the shield grants.
As for barrier/guard, I second that guard is golden in color and barrier has a blue shimmer.

A particular shield will give off a turquoise "pulse" Totally forgot about that.  It's masterwork skill that is taken from Isabela's skill in multiplayer. Encore staff will also spread colorful flames around character when special skills proc, that is taken from Zither's skills in multiplayer. |
