Guild Wars 2

I noticed that in certain situations (Mainly dungeons) the red circles that indicate an enemy AOE attack are very hard to see.
An example would be the Harpies in the Fractal dungeon lvl 10+ with the Raving Asura: When the harpies use the lightning ball skill that knocks you off the platform, you cannot see the circle or at least not fully (usually just a segment of it).
Another example is the tree boss (can’t remember its name) at the end of the swamp fractal. The AOE circles can sometimes land in the small water puddles which make them nearly impossible to see when you’re standing there.

I suggest giving the circles a filling colour; maybe like the texture for the target rings when placing an AOE, but red and a little faint.

Another option would be a 3d effect like the rings for taking control of a location. If they cam up off the ground you could see them through the puddles and off the edges of platforms.

both ideas work

When there is soo much going on when killing bosses, it’s hard to watch everything, especially AOE circles. So if there is a way to make it more visual it would make dugeoning slightly less fruStrating
