Guild Wars 2

With traits each getting their own icons, perhaps its time to display cooldowns for traits that have cooldowns (same place as where boons and effects go now, with countdown where stacks are shown now).

It’s pretty important information that, for a competitive game, should be available to everyone.

If you’re talking about seeing your own personal trait cooldowns and such, that’d be kinda nifty.

If you mean seeing enemy’s cooldowns, then no, that wouldn’t be a very good change.

This would be fantastic ONLY if the person can see their own CD’s and possibly teamates. But the enemy team can’t have that benefit. But for internal CD’s on traits and even the long CD’s on rune sets like vamp i would be really excited if this was implemented.

I think it should work just like any other buff in the game. If you have Signet passive on you you can see it so as your enemy. If my enemies can see mine then I can see their too. There is no disadvantage in this situation.

At the very least, you should be able to see your cooldowns. There’s no good excuse not to have them available for your own viewing.

Enemies: debatable. One technical reason not to show enemies is that would involve more data transfer (your cooldowns would have to go to server, then to each enemy).
