Debuff Tracking List

Hello,

my concern which bugs me quite a bit is following:

When I am with a group fighting a boss, it irritates me seeing all others debuffs on that specific boss. I know you have the option to display only your debuffs, HOWEVER, me, playing a NIN as main, would still like to see Storm's Eye, so I do not waste DPS casting Dancing Edge. Also it would be useful if another NIN applied Trick Attack so I can see that and perhaps time my CDs.

Therefore I want to propose a feature, which lets you actually select which debuffs of other players to display and which not.

PS: It occured to me several times already, that (while displaying party members' debuffs) the list would overflow and not showing certain debuffs of mine (i.e. I could not see Shadow Fang anymore not even after -successfully- applying it).

Thanks for taking your time reading this.

TL;DR: Implement an option to not hide ALL debuffs of other players on an enemy BUT choosing which to hide.

That's slightly odd, the last part you said. On me the debuffs I applied myself always show as the first ones in the list. Wonder if it's some option I've toggled on.

You don't understand.

They want to blacklist all that they do not apply themselves, but then allow a whitelist of select debuffs that other players apply. Other games have this, usually through UI addons.

For example, his Ninja.

Blacklist all debuffs not applied by himself, whitelist for Trick Attack applied by other ninjas, whitelist for Storms' Path. Blocks all other Warrior debuffs, and all dots by everyone else.

This would be really useful. Great suggestion!

Oh I understood that perfectly fine. That was not what I was answering to though. As I said, what I was answering to was the claim that he kept losing his own debuffs in the list, as there is option to show them as first of the list. Wasn't saying anything about the rest of the suggestion.

Considering the number of abilities in the game, I don't think a "blacklist/whitelist" option would be practical. Why not just adjust "Show only my status effects" to include any relevant status effects that would impact that particular class/job? Like "Storm's Eye" and "Trick Attack" when you're playing NIN?

I don't personally play NIN, so I would like to know how other NIN's using Trick Attack impact you using Trick Attack? Does it leave a buff like "Immunity" when "Virus" wears off? Don't quite understand why it would matter unless something like this applied.

WoW has a boatload of debuffs to track and I can use almost any UI mod or replacement (such as ElvUI/TukUI) to black/whitelist auras.

How about 4 initial options:
• Show all status effects
• Show only my own status effects
• Show recommended status effects <<--- your suggestion of ones generally relevant to your current job
• Customize status effect display <<--- brings up a sub-window showing everything for full black/whitelist control

That gives people as much control as they want while also giving people a simpler way to set the most commonly wanted ones.
