What this does

Keeps all of your own battle effects, simplifies party-member effects, and hides effects from players outside the party. This preset reduces visual clutter in alliance raids and large hunts.

How to use

Run it before entering a crowded encounter. Confirm the self, party, and other-player effect levels, then begin combat only after important ground indicators remain readable.

Requirements

Understand that this changes the saved Character Configuration values, and keep either the normal settings or a restore macro available.

    Notes

    Simple party effects reduce presentation while retaining some useful party effects; they are not the same as off. The settings persist after the duty, so restore them before screenshots or content where you want full effects.
