Monster Load Priority

[Garronne]

how about:

NPC - Party - Mobs - non party players - Companions - SPELL EFFECTS - Minions

the option to disable or limit visible spell effects (none/self/group/all) is fairly standard, and I strongly suspect this plays a factor.
edit: actually found the section, hidden under character config->character. Counter-intuitive place to put a graphics setting, but it is there

Tired of dying to fate bosses (Gorgimera comes to mind) because I can't even see the red due to the ball of bluish-white caused by spell effects.

And seriously, auto-group function on fate 'discovery'

Not only do I have effects for all characters turned off already, but I also have all names and health bars disabled for everyone who isn't a party member or NPC unless I target them. It still doesn't help. I'm not even near Coerthas in my game yet, and I'm having this issue with popular Fates. Cancer in the the "It's Not Lupus" fate is not playable. I can see plenty of other people fighting and/or standing around getting killed, but no monster. This needs immediate action.
