Guild Wars 2

As a Guardian, it would be nice to see when a summoned spirit weapon would expire (including spirit weapon life extending traits) so I can get the maximum efficiency out of using them. I don’t really use them all too often but it certainly would be a nice UI addition. Something like a little orange bar that ticks down along the bottom of the skill icon would be all that it needs.

I like the little bar idea but other suggestions for implementing it could be something along the lines of the following:
- a semi-transparent cooldown timer over the skill (might be a little too weird looking)
- a ‘buff’ icon for each weapon that displays the weapon’s remaining duration on mouse hover, similar in appearance to the virtue buffs. Kinda like how Thief’s Shadow Strike works (is that the skill? It’s sword #2 for Thief)

I’m not entirely sure if there are other classes who’s summons behave in a similar manner but I’m sure that if there are, this would be a nice UI addition for them too.
