Disappointed in Sorcerer spell animations...

First off, let me say that gameplay wise I found Sorcerers to be pretty enjoyable. I do not have a problem with the actual spells or the graphics of them, just the effects.

The spells just all seem so...small. Don't get my wrong, I don't think Ice Needle should look like a glacier or anything. but with the skill Flaming Barage, I was expecting a little more than a small orange ball (might be red, I'm colorblind) and a small, almost ripple for an "explosion".

Of course I am only level 22, and I'm not expecting all my spells to look like a WTFBOOM, but still, I was kind of hoping for some of the Sorcerer's main spells (at this level) to be a bit more appealing to the eyes.

Not all spells are bad though, I thought Painful Trap, Painblast, and Arcane Pulse looked pretty good.

I would like other's opinions on this as well.

I think it would be cool if the spell effects got increasingly more elaborate as the spell itself ranked up.

I would be fine with that as well. Magma Bomb is a heavily used spell, for me atleast, and looks exactly like the auto-attack, only it curves. Maybe as it got higher ranks the explosion would get bigger, or something to amp it up a little.

I like many of the effects so far, and Ice Needle's end result is pretty cool (I do like how it snags nearby enemies). Flame Pillar is pretty impressive, and Magma Bomb has that neat mini mushroom cloud when it hits.

I do agree that the spell effects would be more awesome if they became more elaborate as they ranked up though,
