    Sophia Extreme Tank Buster unseen for extreme colorblindness

    The tank buster in Sophia Ex has a visual queue that, from what I'm told, changes the aura around her from yellow to green. However I have extreme colorblindness. The colorblind mode helps, but for this it does not. Previously I've been able to pop appropriate cool downs as a tank when I saw a cast bar. The aura I see is a grey outer shell. After watching a 3 second loop for at least 100 times, the only thing I can see that changes with the aura is that it gets slightly larger. I think I was able to get the arm movement down for when the mechanic actually happens, but the aura would be nice to see as well.

    I was wondering if A) Anyone else had this problem and B) is it something that can be fixed? I wiped my raid group to the first tank buster at least 10 times and it's incredibly frustrating.

    This is definitely an issue for some types of color blindness. Devs should keep color blindness in mind when designing content. A color cue is never enough for a cue for things like this.

    You should still be able to see changes in shapes yes?
    The green aura is ribbons of pale green light that swirl and move in front of her.
    How can you not see that?
    The aoe is an orange orb thing above her head.

    She also raises up a bit for the tank buster, if that helps your cue.

    Ask someone in the party to do a tank buster macro with an audio cue bc you are colorblind. After a while you get used to the timing. I'm not colorblind and I had difficulty seeing the visual cue at first because there's a lot happening in the fight.
