Show damage left on Retribution

#1 Post by Calabria »

On almost all shielding talents, there's an indication of how much damage remains. With the Sun Paladin talent Retribution, I can't see how to tell how much damage remains before the payback triggers.

Throwing a resource meter up for that shouldn't be hard. Could we get one that works for deflection too? (The doomed damage deflector that 'charges' over time.) For that matter, how hard would it be to set one up for arcane disruption, that tracks how much damage the shield has 'built up'?

Think there's a few others that work in similar fashions...

A meter would be nice, but ideally it would also be in the description of the sustained talent so you can tell what the status of enemies is.

That too, but the meter is a LOT easier to watch over turns, and damage shields already do it.

Also, add resonance shield (from the mindslayer/solipsist sets, using feedback) to the list. It DOES describe remaining HP in buff tooltip, but having to constantly wiggle my mouse back to it on every turn to see what's left is beyond aggravating. (Hence a meter being more useful then just a description in tooltip.) Put a white overlay or something on the feedback/psi meter to show us what is left, or make a new meter for it?

Another one that needs feedback is the Doomed talent Deflection. It seems like the textual place it's supposed to show damage remaining is currently bugged, but again, a meter would be much more convenient.
