Let's Take a Moment...

[Aarkz]

Let's take a moment and look at the pictures used for our abilities. Maybe try turning off all help text and then look at them. Do you remember what each and every one looks like and does? Some of the pictures are just simply silly. The overuse of faces rather than icons and arrows that would more accurately portray what an ability does is seen quite often, such as with Shield Bash and Convert. Shouldn't Sacred Prism look like a prism in some regard? Shouldn't abilities such as Resonance and Excruciate give us some idea of what the ability does just by looking at it?

What is happening in these icons?! Why so many bodies and faces?!

This is actually true. I know my skills because of their positions, I can't ever recognize half the icons.

Except for basic stuff like... second wind, cure and blood pact.

I'd love to see this addressed.

PUG especially kills me. They all look almost identical and if I'm not focusing 100% on what they are, I screw up my combos pretty bad.

I'm hoping with a more customizable UI in 2.0 we get the option to customize our icons as well. +1 to hoping.

that's true except try playing blm and have second wind equipped. try to tell the difference between second wind and dark seal. you only know which is which just because of memory.

if you don't remember where your skills are they you are pretty much on a desert island without the text help on.

It's true Poet, I do that all the time.

This why I hope with 2.0 and the customizable UI I get to gcreate a UI that looks similar to XI simply because I don't mind the windows...but most of all I don't mind reading text as opposed to looking at pics to make decisions....
