The Worst Iteration of Monk. What could be different?

[Carighan]

One thing I really want them to do is add some color coding to the skill icons and the beast gauge and chakras (wanted it with the bootshine/twin snakes buffs in EW too). My short term memory's bad enough that I often forget which buttons I've pressed for the Solar combo.

There's this thing where even DAoC back in the days had "common icon elements", like tickmarks in the corners or circles in the bottom to indicate certain effects like "This is an AoE centered on you" or "This is a smart party buff" etc. Shame modern games no longer do that.

As an idea, they could bake the "balls" into the skills if the icons showed us doing an attack on the normal move, and that same icon (yes, the dreaded autocombo, autocombos are 100% superior, debate me bro, etc) shows us wreathed in flame if we have charges, respectively shows both us and the background in flames for Pouncing Coeurl, first use the background drops back to normal, second our flame wreath in the icon disappears. More intuitive way of doing it than a specific UI element.
