But they need to let us separate out our Debuffs from Allies' Debuffs in the UI.

I know last patch they let us unlink the Buff/Debuff pane...

But it'd be incredible to splice Debuffs into those two categories.

All of your debuffs have a green countdown instead of white.

And from my experience they seem be on the far left, before allies's debuffs (and maybe the mobs own buffs)

It'd still be nice to be able to reposition or resize our own debuffs though. He's got a point.

In regards to the rogue and ninja debuff icons being hard to see, we've been gathering this and other feedback and will use it to consider making adjustments.

I was just about to make a post about this. I find it incredibly disorienting to try to keep track on 3 Damage over Time skills that look almost exactly the same to me.
Perhaps I do suffer from a bit of color blindness after all.

If you could change the colors or silhouettes so they do not look so similar would be great!

Wait! So people really cares about Dancing Edge?!... I... I thought I was only one using it...

That shade of green could really use some tweaking, though. It's difficult to make out at a glance.

And yes, these three skills in particular could use some icon adjustment. SE, y'all need to hire some colorblind QA people.

Why are there apparently a million color blind people playing this game? I get color blind is a thing and I'm not saying we shouldn't have stuff in for them, but I have never seen a game with more people saying "You cannot have any color ever because of colorblind people!" Ignoring that the Rogue debuff icons are actually different visuals if you take the time to learn them, they have very different colors because that's just how things work in life. By default we make the bad guys have red HP bars and your allies Green or Blue, it's just a thing, it makes it easier to associate, but people are constantly calling out SE on things like this over colorblindness. Again, I get it, people are color blind, I'm not saying you shouldn't be or that it's your fault, I'm just curious why in any post like this it seems like ten color blind people are here saying they can't see anything of anything, I have NEVER seen this many people complain about it before in any game, even WoW back at it's peek when it had more then five times the subs..

You and me both. That 10% slashing resistance drop on enemies is too good...too bad it's hard to tell whether it's on sometimes, especially in ST.

Answer to that is simple, while there might not be as many subscribers in ff14 as there is in something like wow, because of the name behind it, the simple to learn control scheme, and the proliferation of cheap midtier pcs and online enabled consoles, I wouldn't be surprised if the % of people who play ff14 who haven't played another mmo before is higher than any mmo since ultima online
