Is it really that hard to add an option to remove it entirely, or add the CD countdown to the center of the skill icon with the icon darkened slightly? This change is rather distracting, and I'd rather have the option to turn it off. I have messed up on my heals and barding a lot more than usual since 3.2 dropped. Just wish they had a poll on the main site or patcher to ask people's opinion on such things as this. :/
But this is just my opinion on this and it won't change for who knows how long. e_e
