Jawstheshark Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Please add a visible and audible queue when this ability triggers. It is very much a pain to watch your buff bar for it. The giggle we get from prototype particle accelerator would be fine, but something at least please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden_Archer Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 +1 to that. It would be great to actually hear its proc, it helps to hear PPA proc sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLantern Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I know that Vanguards get a giant Lightning bolt over their head when this procs for them. You might just be overlooking the visual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okod Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 The visual is there, but it's subtle. It's a flame symbol over your character if I'm getting the proc right from memory. Something more visible would be good. (I miss the Heat Blast proc too, have to watch buff bar for the 3 count). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasgruberg Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 signed! This is very desirable. I probably get off half of the procs cause i dont see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is-ith Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 What do u guys think of this skill I haven't actually tried it out yet... What's the verdict yay or nay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quirez Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 +1, watching that little damned buff bar for procs is hurting my eyes What do u guys think of this skill I haven't actually tried it out yet... What's the verdict yay or nay? its definitely the best damage per energy skill, and probably best dps skill in the tank tree - how could you say "no" to that? - its fast, it hurts, makes excellent aoe threat. tldr; its a yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenGoalie Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 There's a flame symbol that shows up over your character when it procs. Personally I never have trouble noticing it. As for sound, I don't believe there is one but I can't be positive because I don't usually play with sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuku-sama Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah there is a visual when it proc... but it's somehow hard to catch when you're zoomed out to see what is happening around you and not just in front of your toon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGNMTTRN Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You should be using Flamethrower every time it's off cooldown so I don't see the big problem. Flame Engine procs -> Flamethrower cd resets -> I know it's time to use Flamethrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Engine procs -> Flamethrower cd resets -> I know it's time to use Flamethrower. So you stare at your hotbar instead of your buff... nice change. Our other ability reset (Stockstrike/Rocket Punch) has a sound while reseting. When I tank I don't have time to stare at my hotbar/buffs. I know my main abilities CD... And I quickly check it up once every 20-30sec so I don,t miss a DCD or Shoulder Cannon, Mortar Volley or smt else. Every other proc have smt to easily know they are up. Pulse Engine/Flame ENgine doesn't. The faint lightning bolt/flame isn't visible when you're zoomed out so you can see the whole battlefield.

Kaos_KidSWTOR Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I hear a loud grunt noise when i get my Flame Engine proc, you could use Torassistant to track the proc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is 2 sec delay btw the proc and TORAssistant signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBCentaurion Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) This is what makes tanking fun. You need to keep track of:- Boss positioning- Mechanics- Your CDs- Your procs- Your buffs- Boss debuffs With the Flame Engine Proc you get (1) a huge red flame icon above your character, (2) a buff icon, (3) audio clue and (4) your CD on Flame Thrower resets. Thats 4 clues for 1 one proc. I don't know how you can miss it. Edited June 27, 2014 by HBCentaurion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockstrike reset makes a sound pretty esy to hear... Ion Engine doesn't (I play Vang more) and the 'huge' icon is huge when you're zoomed on your character.... Which isn't that smart if it keeps you from seeing half the battlefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc_n_lol Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Your character shouts at the top of their lungs when it procs... There's only like 2 variants per class/sex combo. I dont know what more you could need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't that smart if it keeps you from seeing half the battlefield. I zoom out as far as I can and I watch my character, my quickbars, and my procs. The icon is still easy to see, and if I do happen to miss it somehow, I notice it's off CD and use it. Sometimes I notice the proc buff first, but the end result is the same - I use it. But I don't usually have to fall back on my quickbar or my buff bar, because I can still see the icon on my character easily.

Would it be a bug or just me too idiot to have seen it before? Don't ask questions that you don't really want the answer to:cool:. My PT shouts at the top of his lungs every single time.
