[dev1026] Visual cues to let us know when an ability can be used

[Commat]

Along with actions lighting up when useable i would like to see a cool client side effect go over a mob that can be hit by conditional abilities. A way for the game to let my Marauder know it is time to Strike.

If done right it could be very rewarding to pull off. As of right now i get skills to go off as they are up but its not so much for thrills and more for efficiency.

I learned distances in ffxi just fine. Honestly I don't care either way, nor was being negative or arugementive. People will think it is making it easy, Like aggro icons and such. People will be like
"oh this so easy... we don't need to think in battle we just wait till buttons light up."
Kinda don;t need to play to see that stuff come up . XD


Also ask what I mean before being rude... for no reason.

everything in games have radias. Like monster aggro etc. AkA how for you need to be befor you can do something, or something will happen. It isn't that hard to learn how far they stretch. Like valkrum dune bats are avoidable w/o sneak (the ones in the cave) even @ level 10. Ypu just wait till they are again one all and hug the other side. I've done it several times.

Thats what I meant for the record. Not doing what you assume I did.

I like this idea. Dreamer brings up a great point about the ability's that can only be used after a certain action has occured. Having it highlight if an ability is ready to use would be nice.

personaly I would hold off till the battle and classes get fixed. We don't know what going to change, but they might change these abilities. If they are that hard to time, they should at least.
