    Sullen/Ireful brand icon hard to difference

    The icon that looks to me like a face with its upper part changing to blue or red depending on which brand you are currently, first boss in World of Darkness Angra Manyu, is very difficult to keep track of.

    I've died myself a few times because I just can't tell which of the brands is currently active on me, it's very confusing trying to difference whether it's blue or red, while there is so much going on on the field. Also I tried to just remember on which one I stepped into and that will work only rarely.

    Anyone else having trouble with this icon? Can we have a clearer icon for this move?

    Not really. As you said the face changes from blue to red and vice versa. I find it easy to switch between to two. But if your TV has a slight color issue or if, sadly, your eyes can't pick up the color variations, I can see how it would be hard. I don't know what class you play as mostly, but, try this method and see if it helps you any. When the battle starts stand either in front near the eye, but off to the side, for obvious reasons, then after you get the first debuff, sullen, move to behind the boss. The aoe always has sullen in his front and ireful at his rear. If you just move to the opposite side after you get one, you'll automatically be in place for the other debuff. This should prevent you from getting the same debuff twice, and possibly dying. Hope that helps.

    Yeah, the icon is too tiny for me to see the face or the color. I play ranged, so I stand on the line and move to the side after each aoe, while also trying to keep track of the color in my mind. Doesn't work too well if tanks don't keep aggro and it spins, but usually there are bigger problems at that point. Messing up once is easily survivable, at least.

    I try to keep track of it by always starting with blue and then just keeping it straight. The debuff icon is useless.
