Guild Wars 2

This is two potential improvements I’d like to see to the effects bar.

1. Since it seems that lots of condition removal is Last condi In is the First Condi out, or LIFO, it’d be nice to get a LIFO indicator of some kind for conditions in the effects bar. Potentially the same for boons, if it’s the same behavior but I don’t know much about that mechanic.

I don’t know if it’d be fair to show the LIFO indicator for enemies on effects bars, but I’m not advocating that at the moment, just seeing LIFO for yourself is all I’m talking about.

Maybe even make this configurable so people can see different depths of conditions, up to 3 deep or something.

2. Show the second counter with the effect icons instead of only in a tooltip, could be a config option if people like the current view. There’s so much that happens in PvP, and PvE sometimes, that it’d be great if information for various effects could be read more timely so that players can react properly more often.

This isn’t the case, both removals have built-in priority systems.

Right, also more information released about the removal priority mechanics would be great ANet. Seems to vary for certain skills.

More information would definitely be nice. There is no reason I can see why Anet would be unable or unwilling to release that information. Saves us a lot of time and guessing about those removals.
