Hello there,

Just a quick suggestion for all traits affecting other party members in combat.
Currently, these effects list as regular “Trait Number” and it’s something I don’t really like that much.

When I consider the decision of keeping traits as numbers really good for discussing, I believe that the active effects/Party Buffs for these traits should’ve small icons for them, which would include a small graphic and specific colour background.

At the moment, it’s hard to recognize under which effects you and your allies are because the trait icons are just roman numbers. It’s not that easy to memorise these numbers and takes time to understand what affects you. Especially if, for example, you play an Elementalist and try to maintain Arcane trait buff when being under the effect of, for example, Strenght in Numbers and Spotter.

Similar small icons to Frost Spirit or such would be much more helpful.

Specific graphics/icons/logos are just much easier to memorise and recognize, example of brand icons (Car logos, sportswear icons and such)

And maybe throw in a timer for the elementalist’s Arcane Lightning (bonus counter for the last 3 seconds) so it’s easier to keep up

Cheers!

This would be nice. Include a background with the profession’s color, and a small icon making it obvious what you’re being affected by.
