Feedback on the Detrimental Effects addition:
I was glad to see this addition. As a caster, it doesn't help me all that much, but it is a step in the right direction.
The problem:
With only 30 icons available, the sort order is now different; I rarely, if ever, see any of my own beneficial proc's go off because all 30 slots are full. Templar group reactives appear near the top, for example, but the group/raid buffs fill all 30 slots.
For example, I want to see the following things proc:
- Vine-Wrapped Boots
- Wand of Crystalized Plasma
- Cloak of Unrest
- Cloak of Zet
As examples. Before GU39, I could ALWAYS see them, at least. Now, its VERY rare. I'd have to be in a group with very few buffs to see them now, so its pretty much never.
Can we either:
- Add a window of effects that are temporary (such as procs, group reactives, etc)
- Force anything generated by my character to ALWAYS appear
- Get rid of the 30 slot limitation
- Get an effects window just for my character
I see more and more items with group procs, and I tailor what I'm casting to what is active at the time for the largest benefit. If I can't even see what is up because the effects window is full, I have to "use the force", which I'd rather not do. Its bad enough that many of these procs don't even generate emotes, so I can't even use a log parser to tell me whats up and whats not.
Thanks!
