Buff/Debuff Overwrite Suggestion

Seriously how is this so hard?

Some times them doing Technical Step doesn't show up on the party list because of how many buffs they have going.

For Trick Attack there is an option to only show debuffs you apply and some people might have that turned on to make their own debuffs easier to see / manage.

No but you can literally see 4 really bright and super flashy animations, its seriously hard to miss unless you have it set for everyone to just not display animations at all.

I have party animations on Show Few just so I can see floor bubbles so I can try to keep mobs or my self in them when I tank. Which is another good point btw. Thanks for mentioning that

Even so you can see the actual animation for dnc at least even with the flashes shut off. If you are not someone who is overwhelmed easily its good to train yourself to be spacially aware instead of just haphazardly hitting buttons like you do on a mobile game. You can't blame the system because it works, its how the user is using the system, or not in some cases. You know what to watch out for, so watch for it.

Combat has already been reduced to a ridiculously simplistic system, especially with this expac we really don't need it simplified even more because a few ppl refuse to pay attn. It's not even a QoL thing, its just an "I don't want to have to look" thing. It may be great to a few, but dang if we keep this up we are just going to be hitting 1 button on repeat.

I'm always watching my hotbar for CDs / procs on DNC as well as boss mechanics that I need to dodge or position so I don't catch others in AoEs. I can't be trying to watch another player that could be anywhere on the field to see if they are doing dance animations that I don't even pay attention to on my character. Also how is another NIN going to see that the other NINs are doing hand signs for Suiton? You're camera would need to be super close for that. And what about Ranged and their Defense abilities? There's not hand signs or dance animations to let another Ranged know they are about to use that ability. Also rotations do eventually get to be muscle memory so your hands could already be going to hit a button right as you see a buff appear on the party bar. Oops can't cancel out of your dance or mudra combo... what are you going to do? Mess it up so you don't overwrite the other buff or use it so you don't waste it?
