I strongly disagree with your visual cue point (Destiny)

As for the animation. It's lightning, to effectively animate that to allow you to see the edges of it would probably blind people or at least fill up screens with pointless animation.

Well, a visual cue is never pointless, but I can see how it would probably be too much information on a lower-res screen. Still, helpful information is good information. Hardly pointless.

Not to mention, because it pulses, how does that actually help to know the edge of it? Are you going to make a mental note of the edge and step around it?

Yeah, that's pretty much the point. :) Btw, do the animation pulses represent the damage pulses at all? It could be lag, but lately I've been damaged in between flashes...

I always have a mental note of the cone in my head and I just take a wide berth or just shoot the thing.

Well, I would too, if I even knew how big the cone was. I honestly have no clue. I always overreact and run the hell away, which probably gets me into a more dangerous situation than if I stepped just outside of it and got back into an aggressive stance.
