    Combo Light Blinking

    -.- Is it possible for the blinking when the next time in a combo is available be reverted back to the solid light? Or we have the option to toggle it? Flashing light for the reaction-based skills is fine, but the flashing everywhere is kind of annoying me.

    Several times now when on BLM i've glanced down at my skill bar and I looked in the breif second inbetween flashes and I thought my first spell and missed and my combo failed. I prefered it when the ring was solid.

    Yes please. Solid lit ring was great. Extension to reactionary abilities is also much appreciated. But blinking rings is a step back imo. Bring back the old method.

    I really hate this blinking nonsense, tanking multiple mobs as a GLA/PLD I get Phalanx blinking 24/7, Wardum blinking whenver it is up, then the blinking from skills. I had to separate them onto individual lines so it wasnt all BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK.

    Combos and Reaction Skills should have different style'd notifications.

    That helps to know when you can use those block or evasive or parry skills better... in the midst of confusion sometimes is harder to know if you blocked or parry for example. Will make things easier and use them more frequent. If you don't like that blink thing instead saying to remove it you can say them to improve or change the effect, no?

    At least for me I see it useful atm.

    Agreed. It's a huge step up for me as GLA/PLD. Let's me know when Phalanx/War Drum can be used and doesn't impact my combo abilities for the worse.

    I do not believe they are technically capable of making a separate animation for combo and reaction-trigger, or at least they consider it needlessly wasted effort as it is much simpler to have both on the same animation.
    Regardless, I still am unsure wether blinking or solid is better, but I would in fact prefer a blue color to a pink, because pink as it is now meshes way too well with the large amount of reds and browns in the WS buttons.

    I would also like the flashing to be taken away. Sure, its nice to know when I can use Maim when an attack is parried, but if I blink I wonder if my combos are failing due to missed attacks or resisted spells. Its less helpful, to be honest.
