Less verbose elemental damage

[krishh]

My character had and elemental axe of daylight giving 6 elements on offense and a chant, a hymn and the elemental crown giving 6 elements on defense. This made the message log completely unreadable in battle, giving 50+ elemental damage messages a round when surrounded.

I propose that damage is instead displayed in a single line as a sum like this : 20.5+10.0+2.70. (Perhaps even with a =33.20 in the end, you usually care more about the total damage than about its makeup.)

A problem is that with this many elements it could be tricky to remember or even distinguish the color codes. For this reason I think the elements should also be color coded in the character screen, item tooltips and monster info, for both damage and resistances.

This just leaves colorblind players, for which the current mode could be left in as an option.



Unrelated, you should look into linking the forum and game user accounts, one account should be enough.
