Visible graphic for Huton?

[Chiraisu]

This probably doesn't really affect much, But I would like to see a visible graphic to Huton, similar to how Monk get a graphic with Greased Lightning, and Dragoon get a graphic to Blood of the Dragon.

It just seems weird to me that the semi permanent buffs (you know, ones that aren't toggleable) of the other two jobs have it as (probably) an indicator of "Hey! your shit ain't on anymore!"

It'd be nice to have.

This right there means you are doing something wrong, you need to refresh Huton way before it goes off
Besides that, i can live with some cool effect, for the sake of aesthetics more than anything else.
Light Blue aura around the outline of the character body, shiny *.*

Make no mistake. It's very rare for mine to ever fall all, I just feel shafted by dragoons. Heh, heh...

As long as it comes with an option to turn the graphic off... I'd rather not have swirling blue winds around me ad nauseum.

Out of curiosity, would a larger status bar graphic or an alternate duration bar (anything still in the overlay rather than around the character itself) work for you?

Agreed!

I never was fond of the swirling graphics. When I was doing the Animated relic stage, I immediately glamoured it using the Yuki-something katanas.

Maybe a after-shadow effect or something?

This makes me wonder if DRK will get their dark flames back this expansion..

I thought they already had dark flames? Do you mean the graphic from Darkside?

I am not sure. I remember seeing it way back in the old Heavensward Job Abilities trailer where a DRK had a dark flame like aura at the base of the feet, completely different and even added on top of the aura Darkside gives now. (Though I think our current one has been lighten up due to alot of complaints, the old Darkside aura was much darker)

There used to be a thread on the forums about getting it back, but it faded into oblivion. However, before it did, the mods had responded that they may bring back that black flaming aura in the future..just wondering if maybe, this expansion might do just that with any of DRKs new abilities.

I wouldn't mind something for NINs Huton though. A blurring double image like Mhaeric mentioned would be nice.

Perhaps in the 4.0 UI update? I mean I do recall saying jobs may see graphical updates to help with up-keeps.

I believe that was gui updates, specifically. So not a persistent animation, but a graphical ui element to make seeing cooldowns, durations, etc easier. Not that this precludes a persistent animation being added to Huton, but rather that I think this is what you were referring to. IIRC, we'll find out what at least some of the new guis will look like in Monday's live letter.

As far as a Huton animation goes, I wouldn't mind seeing an effect like Dragon Age:Origins dual woeld skill, Momentum had. Sort of a blurring slash double image effect behind your character. You can see it here, even though its being used by a two-handed warrior. It's the bluish effect coming off behind them: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JGexzNOVY7o
