Anyways I wouldn't be against this idea, just seems like a rather small change in the long run. I mean it's not hard to know when you evade or parry a attack.
This isn't exactly trivial. For example, when playing as a pugilist, there are a number of abilities that can only be used after you evade an attack. Due to the quickness of the combat text, you literally have to glue your eyes to your character if you want to catch it, as there are simply no other cues to let you know that this has occurred.

We don't need bright neon color signs (though I admit I liked them in LotRO), an extra visual cue to let us know this has happened and that such abilities are now available for use would be extremely helpful.
