    Please change Bloodletter Icon

    I really am quite annoyed, i guess you could say, with the fact that Bloodletter debuff and the Skull Sunder debuff are the same icon (or very very very similar) on the mob debuff. Could we get a change on either or both so players can tell a difference?

    Right now it's hard to tell which buff is which.

    I suggest a red "teardrop" icon or something.

    There are a lot of buffs that have the same icon as well. For example many of the defense increase buffs have the same shield and in the heat of battle it would be better to know exactly what you have on you instead of having to peak up at it using the mouse... I know this may sound silly but when the time is running down on all of them including Defender I sometimes hit defender thinking it went down and realized I took it off. Now I understand the purpose of it a player being able to toggle it, there but I think making the icons for buffs and debuffs more unique would be very beneficial, especially for dungeons or longer battles when you are just going and going.

    Agreed, simply changing the color would be sufficient, a red swirly or whatever that icon is would be sufficient to denote the difference between Skull Sunder and Bloodletter.

    As far as buff icons go it'd be nice if they just shared their action bar icon. Being able to quickly distinguish between Sentinel, Obsess, Defender, etc would be nice since they all look exactly the same right now.

    Yes, change it to a red color, or put a red blood drop or something on it.

    I feel there are way too many buffs and self buffs overall. It reduces the importance of individual buffs and they all get lost in a mish mash of similar looking icons and effects.

    I can equip my entire skill bar with self buffs and do them all, over and over again, without ever stopping.

    That's kinda ridiculous.

    I couldnt agree more. It feels like I have 3 equipment change macros for each ability except these are buffs!
