Could Dark Path have a different animation?
Level 80 Elementalist, experienced player in pvp, trying out pve for now.
Its a fairly slow moving projectile, with the same animation as a staff. Big hint though he has to be in deathshroud to use it. So if you see the staff animation and he has the big swirly black cloud around him, its Dark path.
I agree with the op. In general there is way too little tell to most abilities. Couple that with tiny asuras and you basically have to guess and get lucky when dodging most of the time.
Please give us a clearer visuel of what our enemies are doing so we can actually use skill instead of luck to be victorious.
