Guild Wars 2

imma digging up my old topic
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/balance/Death-Shroud-Show-Skills-6-10-Cooldown/4062770

the original topic:

when necromancers enters death shroud, weapons skills 1 – 5 are replaced with death shroud skills while skills 6 – 10 are locked out and replaced with a padlock icon.

instead of the padlock icon, show the recharge timer for skills 6 – 10, if the skills are not on cool down then it shows the padlock icon as usual.

at least we will know our heal is ready when we exit death shroud, or other skills.

this will be a much welcomed feature of life upgrade for necromancer players.

edited a bit since now we have reapers

when necromancers / reapers enters death / reaper shroud, weapons skills 1 – 5 are replaced with death / reaper shroud skills while skills 6 – 10 are locked out and replaced with a padlock icon.

instead of the padlock icon, show the recharge timer for skills 6 – 10, if the skills are not on cool down then it shows the padlock icon as usual. or just show the counting recharge timers on top of the padlock icons!

at least we will know our heal is ready when we exit death / reaper shroud, or the utility skills, and elite skill.

this will be a much welcomed feature of life upgrade for necromancer / reaper players.

discuss!

that’d be nice.

more feedback please thanks!

That’d be nice.

Nope. Save these for future updates/Elite Specs.

If anything, we have space above utility icons – put small indicators there if you want.

yes, small numbers above the padlocks would suffice.

“Ok, we’ll give you your cooldown visuals, but it’ll be tied to a new Elite specialization on a trait in the mastery line.”

jk, I have always wanted this feature but Anet probably wouldn’t do it because they’re a studio made of fresh comp-sci graduates and ego-hungry paper pushers

I’m letting my Anet buddy know he’s one of these right now.

+1

I would enjoy that. Tbh though I kinda liked the original shroud look with the green barand skills only. It didn’t look as clunky and I always knew my HP going in

The game is already easy enough it doesn’t need to be dumbed down any further.

this is not dumbing down you kitten

It’s the opposite. More information.

Obviously the comments section doesn’t need dumbed down any further..

Seeing the cooldown for skills 6-10 while in Shroud would be a welcome quality of life change. More information about your own abilities is always good.

No idea why this hasn’t happened yet. Seems pretty straight forward to me. Can anyone present a negative effect this would have on the game?
