Debuff Slot Limitation

[Miasmira]

I come to you today to partly vent, but partly to beg for the developers to PLEASE increase the debuff slot limit, I know I am not alone in this request. Several of my classes rely on their debuffs to maximize their potential, but due to the system currently in place I cannot possibly reach it in larger sized groups/raids, especially as a DRG due to positionals and combo build ups slowing down my time to actually apply and KEEP debuffs active on the target before some SMN/SCH decides to put (for example) Virus on the mob which eats up 2-3 slots. Then of course there seems to be debuff priorities which knocks off my Disembowl hampering me even further.

I apologize if this was a bit of a run on sentence but at the time of this writing I am getting rather frustrated at this dilemma and is making me rethink some of my favorite classes just because of a technological issue. Surely SE doesn't want to limit their player class base just because of this?

They did increase the visible slots - In most normal circumstances you'll never hit that limit. You also have the option to only see your debuffs I believe.

Dunno if this helps but , like above poster mentioned, there is an option in the er... Options, heh, to turn on just YOUR debuffs being visible. I turned them on and never looked back.

That's kind of you to point me in that direction but that isn't the issue. This one is an internal limitation on how many debuffs can be on a mob at a time. That option is JUST for showing my own debuffs (client side) which I currently only show my own. Debuffs litterally DO NOT land...at all period because of this problem.

This is correct, however the only place it really happens is in a 24 man. And really depends on the classes present. But it does indeed happen.

It would also be a problem during hunts/Odin/Behemoth.

Well, they can't really increase it to support THAT many people, for a 24 man they likely should, but not those.

I'd rather just be able to have it show just my parties debuffs on the boss rather than the entire raids. Only thing that sucks though is things like Virus which is a shared CD for the entire raid :/

Which still doesn't do anything for the problem at all.

The problem I believe is showing more than 24 debuffs will cause memory problems and lag your client. At least party only is a solution to that.
