Can we please fix the ongoing DoTs issue, please

[Ragology]

Oh man haha. I know this conversation was over a week ago but my goodness this was an amazing read.

"Warriors can make me do more damage by applying my debuff for me so I can do better things? HOW DARE THEY I'll just keep putting it on anyway, who cares if my damage is crap from all these pointless re-applications they shouldn't be trying to help me in a team game!"

Whenever ninja's insist on overwriting my WAR's slashing debuff over and over again, I switch to storms path instead.

Options - Debuff Icons
[ ] Show only buffs and debuffs applied by me on enemies
[ ] Show only debuffs and debuffs applied by me on non-enemies
[ ] Stack debuffs not applied by me (timer will show the longest duration in stack)

Currently, when I'm on my healer, the current option of "show only buffs and debuffs applied by me" will hide tank debuffs except on the party list. It also won't show up on the focus target. As a healer (especially when playing the SCH), I don't really care that much about the debuffs on enemy targets other people apply, but I really do care about the debuffs on all party members, especially so on the tank.

The current option shows no consideration for the different needs of the different roles. Please convey to the UI team that they should think about this for future UI implementations.

I don't because then I'd just lose dps for a stubborn ninja :/

To me, the issue isn't the displaying of all the debuffs and dots, but actually the raid bosses being full and no more can be added until something wears off or is overwritten by the same player. :| I do remember also that SE mentioned in the old patches that the limit is 60. In 24-man content only 3 dots from every class would mean not everyone could fit theirs in. During hunts I lost count how many times "aero does xx dmg (no effect)" messages I got.

I just don't know how it counts towards the number when the boss have something like immunity to virus.

After a certain number of debuffs, don't new additional remove older debuffs? Sometimes when I use Wildfire, it sticks for 5-7 seconds then the icon disappears and then I never see the explosion/damage and it doesn't show up

While I'm not sure why that's happening, no. Older debuffs won't be pushed off unless it's a debuff that doesn't stack. You can have multiple Bio, Miasma, and Bio 2 icons for example.

Something like Dancing Edge can be overwritten since they don't want it to stack multiple times (would make it OP). So maybe Wildfire is sometimes getting caught in that? You apply Wildfire, then another MCH does the same and the game removes yours?

Hello,
Regarding the status bar display limit I had a thought:
Would it be possible to condense the debuff information to a single icon per action, with a counter in lieu of an expiration timer?

In effect you reduce 11 icons to 3, which saves an absolute ton of space especially considering Summoner/Scholar DoTs.

Edit: Visual representation

You know.. some of this stuff can be fix on your side... Since there are so many debuffs on the Mob like the pic.. I have my UI set to ONLY show my Debuffs on the Mobs HP bar... That way I don't confuse my debuffs from others debuffs. That way I know what debuffs I have up and what I don't...

Also if I see I know I had my debuffs up, then one disappears before the other, I know I have another person that is applying the debuff and I know that this one debuff is not a stackable debuff. (EX: Impulse Drive before Chaos Thrust.)

The first and 2nd option is kind of already in the game... As for where in the settings???? I can't remember exactly.. I think it is under UI settings.

You can't see someone elses Virus/Slow/Slashing Debuff/Trickattack/etc. then I think.

There's still the problem of in some content people hit the debuff cap and thus their debuffs, including dots don't even get applied.
