Recoloring the AoE marker. Why is that not a thing yet?

[Crafoutis]

The timer is different, but there's still plenty to do, and inactivity leads to a wipe.

If the timing is the same, the quick motor reactions are the same is my point, I pointed that out specifically.

Your scenario changed the words in my mouth, you weren't refuting what I said, you painted a new scenario to refute.

It seems you've confused yourself and come up with the same timing. I'll leave you to argue with yourself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One thing I'd like that mobile FFXIV does is have a clear indicator for when an aoe goes off on the aoe markers themselves by having the pulsing effect timed to match it (GW2 also has been doing this afaik)

(from myhappy's videos)

Also maybe because I use a lala I can rarely see the nametag on most bosses because they're placed above their head and most bosses are just enormous, so having cast bars on those haven't really helped much

The default camera angle for lalas is awful! On PC you can hold Ctrl and use the up and down arrow keys to adjust your camera. Or use the macro "/tiltcamera [number]" (example: "/tiltcamera 85") to do it if you're on console or want to macro it. I have it as part of a macro for settings for doing battle content!

Yeah I have it set to 40 while the default's like 33 I believe. It's still not quite enough, while 85 just makes my hotbar and job gauges cover my character.

And again, I have the target's cast bar big and in the middle so it doesn't really give me any problems, just that it's not really as useful as a feature as I'd like.

I didn't know you could macro this stuff, that's so cool!

[Mesarthim]

I would heavily recommend using focus target in that case. I have a focus target HP as well as their cast bars split up and put in designated spots on my screen for this very reason.

Edit: Even the Enmity List can be used (I do this on Eminent Grief's Drain Aether).

ITT: people that still haven't moved the boss cast bar near their hotbars or in any visible location whatsoever, then act like reading castbars is soooo hard

Probably one of the big things that often gets overlooked.
Fix your UI, the default is terrible.
Of course you can't keep track of what the boss is doing when all the important UI elements are on opposite ends of the screen, even worse when someone is busy staring at their hotbars.
