I have the hotbar buttons one-size up from the lowest because it was just too much to squint at, they were blurring together. I run a 27'' TV as a monitor and it's capped at 720p (I hope to get a better one soon).

I have no trouble with Verstone/Verfire, as you say they light up on the hotbar, and the moving outline (the same as combos) are easy to spot and catch your eyes quickly, that and I have those just to the right of my character.

It's just that Dualcast doesn't give any kind of indication on the hotbar at all and that's why I'm having trouble with it. But again, next time I play hopefully I will remember to try to move the buff/debuff area down to that space I mentioned.

You can post a screenshot if you like, though I've seen some peoples' UIs and they just look confusing to me lol. But who knows maybe I might see an idea or something.

But at least it ain't like the crazy junk you see on WoW lol.
