Having a little trouble finding an abil or buff to base a custom doodad on - I'm trying to depict a realistic sunset for a cinematic. What looks like a Sun? Can anyone help me out ^^?

why not use a giant yellow wisp, most buffs are to detailed to be used as a sun

A wisp! Great idea - I might take it one step further, a giant wisp with immolation ^_^ .

I hope you're kidding. But, use Draco's suggestion and make your own.

After messing with lame wisp suns, and many other lame attempts here's my best shot. I used the buff Big Bad Voodoo <caster> target i realize the terrain isn't anything special I was just messing with the sun/sky. ;)

why dose everyone insist the wisps look lame?

clearly a better looking sun, and unlike skinning one on a sky model, you an move it to any possition, and veiw it from any angle, where as on th sky, the sun will be only visible from one angle, and youll be forced to take you pic from that angle.

pyro, the sun looks like its part of the mountain
gitlich, answer to your question:
the wisp has a "blue" glowing effect, so it won't look properly like a sun if you're making a cinematic or terrainy thing unless you bother to change its glow
