Guild Wars 2

I once wrote a bug report concerning the defiance bar of the Grawl Champion in the Volcanic fractal; stuns appeared to not affect the bar so I wrote the report to ask whether or not this was intentional and to ask that if it was [intentional], would it be possible for the devs to add a tool-tip to that effect.

To my surprise, within a few weeks, a tool-tip icon was added to the champion’s bar explaining which control effects would affect the bar and which wouldn’t. Even if this was a coincidence, I want to say thank you for that!

Now I’m writing to ask that such tool-tips be added to all creatures with defiance bars that work in unique ways. Bloomhunger and Mai Trin come straight to mind but there are many, many other enemies out there with unique defiance bars. Maybe it’s unfair of me but without the tool-tips, I can’t be sure whether or not these are bugs that I’m coming across or, in fact, intentional differences.

For the record, I actually think that certain bosses behaving in different ways in response to CC is a fantastic way to make an already incredibly improved system even better!

I hope this gets some attention and I thank you for taking the time to consider my request.

/agreed. Tool tips should always offer relevant clues, unless ANet wants us to figure out mechanics on our own (in which case, the tool tip should suggest that).
