Watching this video on "Good" settings I was unable to see the explosions. Perhaps a fluke, but when I rewatched it (abandon/reaccept) with View Distance set to High I was able to see the results of my work :) I highly recommend you tweak your settings up to appreciate the big finale!

Shame Blizz couldn't find a way to make this scale better to video capabilities :/
