Separate damage display for multiple hits

#1 Post by MrMaroon »

When a creature is hit multiple hits in one 'turn' (due to dual-wielding or talents like flurry), the damage numbers and status effects floating off them overlap so that it's effectively impossible to see.

It would be great if the numbers instead were separated vertically so they were on separate 'lines':

Code: Select all

I actually love the overlapping numbers look in Flurry. I get the feel of "I don't know how much damage I've just done, but I bet it bloody hurt." Especially nice with some extra-damage egos.
