    Visuals for procs

    In some other games whenever you get a proc there's usually some sort of flashy visual design around your character that let's you know "hey push this button!" Every once in a while I'll miss a proc because I'm too worried about something else or I just flat out didn't notice it. A proc should feel exciting and fun, but as they are now, they're a bit stale, I think this would really spice things up!

    It's why I preferred 1.x's - Simple bright pink circle around the skill that's part of a combo (back when we had real combos.)

    +1



    This way the next skill in the combo chain can't be overseen.

    You are making me nostalgic. I do like the combat system of ARR, but the 1.23 combo system was a lot more fun than anyone gives it credit for (probably because they never actually experienced it.) It felt like personal skill played a bigger role because you had to build-up and time when you used your tp instead of it recovering automatically.

    But yeah, the faint yellow border around skills that light up can be hard to see depending on which skill it is. It's not too bad when I play on my laptop, but I normally play about 7 feet away from my tv screen and even when it's a combo that I triggered, I occasionally can't tell if the second skill is combo ready. That comes up most noticeably when the first skill doesn't actually go off, but uses up the global cooldown (which is a problem in and of itself that a few of my FC mates have to deal with.)

    Yet another reason I'm looking forward to addons. Plus I really want better DoT timers for SMN.

    I would like to see an audio que that's distinguishable. I'm more of an audio learner/ reaction than visual. I just don't notice my procs on screen the way it is currently.

    I like the OP idea but I kind of like this a bit more. I also tend to pay more attention to sounds and with all the flash from the crap we have to dodge I'm afraid more lights would only get lost.

    I always miss Cure II/Succor procs on my WHM/SCH :/ I'd like a better visual representation... perhaps something popping up on screen or maybe a noise, I don't know

    I'd prefer audio cues but both/either would suffice... this' a great suggestion.
