Was just thinking about things that could make our lives a little easier. Say you are a p/p hgh condi engi, you shoot off your pistol shots, then you switch over to your nades and fire off your nades. Wouldn’t it be nice for them to somehow incorporate a way to show you the cool down timers on your pistol so you know when to switch back to fire off your pistol shots again?

Just a thought.

I would definitely enjoy a kind of “Reload Timer” on the Kit Refinement Trait, letting us know when it would be more beneficial to swap a kit would at least justify the Global Kit cooldown as apposed to (opinion) what I feel would be more reasonable, simply giving each kit its own internal cool down. At any rate, it would certainly be helpful to see Cool downs on weapon skills while in kits I just shudder to see how the UI would accommodate Elementalists and their alternate skill cool downs, and for that reason I doubt it will ever come to pass.

very hard to do if using multiple kits.
But I guess one timer in each corner of a skill could solve that in a cluttered way

It could be doable, but involves some serious tweaks to the UI and might result into slower performance… do you want to risk that?

Also this could only show your primary weapon set CD, or your secondary weapon set if you have 2 sets, besides the elementalists would be the only profession not to benefit from this.

I’m finding with enough practice I have a pretty good idea of when skills become ready. That said UI queues would certainly make it a lot easier than hours of playtime.

Well, there was a time a played certain MMORPG cough WoW cough and something I liked was that you could install plugins or at least arrange your abilities in the actionbars. So, what I did was to have all my abilities in the action bar and even though I couldn’t use certain ability untill I switched to another state (like berserker stance for example), I could still see the cooldown. Also I loved the macros. For example if I wanted this ability in certain stance, I could program a macro that checked if I was in the stance and cast it; and if not, it would switch me to the stance and cast it. All in a single button. So yeah that could be a solution or something.
