Stack Markers

[Hasrat]

As someone who hasn't seen it yet and is more familiar with previous iterations, let's all just hope I know what to watch for when it comes up (and I don't go into BLM tunnel vision mode...).

But really, I think that could be part of the problem. Maybe they're technically different mechanics, but if they're supposed to be handled the same, maybe it would've been best to maintain (or retroactively convert to) a single indicator.

Personally, I'm more familiar with the red arrow used in T5 and Sohm Al (and maybe elsewhere that I can't think of right now).

The one youre describing is probly the one i think of as the Fireball Marker. Large-ish orange triangle(point down) with like a big glowing dot in the middle? For comparison, the one OP is talking about(and the most common one in general) is this - the design of which at least to me screams everyone get here(note: not everyone typically has to stack for these, but the more people in the marker the easier it is for the healers to handle so certainly better to share if youre in reach - and certainly dumb to run away from everyone if youre the one with the marker on you).

And i think in general the reason we have so many different indicators for this is that some of them are slightly different. Stand with 1+ other marked person to avoid bad effect isnt technically the same as everyone stand together to share damage. But functionally? Theyre certainly similar.

Edit: I dont own that image, i just snagged one of the first ones to appear on a google image search for ff14 stack marker.
