Gustomucho Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I am wondering, there are many abilities in the shadow arsenal that requires us to watch for procs. I know Power Aura and dot timers were very good at keeping everything easily trackable. With swtor the tiny buff/debuff display it is impossible to keep up with procs on boss and to some extent on us. How do you guys do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilmarFyrewynd Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Carefully. And with much eyestrain, even on a 27" monitor running at 1920x1080. I want to find the person who decided that most of our procs should be green and look similar and smack them with a wet noodle multiple times.

richardya Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If there was a log file a 3rd party developer could make some nice big overlays to pop on your screen when they are up. I think swtor has all the logs on the server side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazybobo Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I know with particle acceleration your character will turn yellow so you don't have to watch the bar for that one at least.. I would like the rocks to float around us as long as KW is up to let us know that is still on with charges. The harness shadows.... just have to look or count in you head. Three projects = full harness. But you just have to be aware of the time it takes to loose harness shadows and cast a project before it disappears to maintain it or use the charges with Telekinetic throw.

Kemmer Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sigh. A graphical representation around our character would be nice, so we could actually watch fights. One day, maybe? Until then, it's Star Wars: The Hotkey Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenBones Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 For the most part, I don't bother. Yes, I'm probably a little less effective. But trying to focus on TINY little icons in the middle of a fight sucks the fun out of it, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozor Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) WTB visual representation of my procs so I can watch actual fight, kthxbye Also dont forget about the bug when proc icon is sometimes blacked out. Bioware's trolling my eyes Edited January 26, 2012 by Kozor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddmyth Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 There is for particle acceleration, your character turns yellow Finding a PA proc on your character when you are being healed/buffed/debuffed constantly is impossible. Hell I've tried to pickup the yellow tinge my character takes on for PA just solo'ing and its near impossible. You have to play at a particular zoom level to even see it minutely.

True, it is hard with so many effects going off to notice the yellow. Just saying they have the coding for a proc visual indicator, they just need to change the visual representation.
