    No target circle arrow/pointer for Bozjan Southern Front?

    Hello, has anyone else noticed that your target lacks the little pointer on the circle around it? Is that intended, perhaps to make it simpler for leveling melee jobs there? It seems to work for me outside of BSF.

    Also, I've noticed that I can't see the circle anyway if lots of other people are there because it is obscured by the effects of their attacks. I didn't see a setting to make it a priority for visibility. Does that exist and I just missed it?

    Thank you for reading.

    Thanks for helping make the FFXIV community a fun and welcoming place. If you're not sure you have (and you very likely have), make it a point to be patient or helpful the next time you log in so that you can know you've made a difference.

    If you're on the Aether data center, congratulations! I might be your next exciting adventure healer in the Duty Finder. Please look forward to it.

    Yes if its simply a circle like in Boja or Palace of the Dead, it's so that melee DPS combo finishers (that usually require they be executed from the target's back) will hit for the full amount of damage. If you want to make the fights visually less hectic go to Character Config > Filters there should be a # of groups of effects filters for: you, party members, everyone else. Even if the party members category has the effects turned off, exceptions will be made for things like Asylum and Sacred soil so you can still utilize them.

    I suspected that was why.

    Thanks for the tips for when fights became a blinding light show.

    To add to this, you will want to make sure that you set the effects to Limited so that ground effects like Asylum, Sacred Soil, Earthly Star, Doton, etc., continue to appear for you. Setting them to OFF will turn off all effects, including these. I tend to have mine set to ALL for myself, Limited for party members, and then OFF for everyone else.
