Savage Melee Blood Frenzy idea

[Wavicle]

I'd like to see a little change to the way the indicator rings around the icons in my power tray work for Savage Melee.

Basically, I'd like a Green ring to appear when I have FOUR stacks of Blood Frenzy, in addition to the current Red ring at five stacks.

 

This would let me know when to use my finishers in order to avoid getting Exhausted.

I'm not against the idea per se, but IIRC, there is also an indicator for the number of flood frenzy stacks under your HP/End bars as well.

excellent QoL suggestion!

Also perhaps a visual representation on/near your character

for example

Drops of blood that orbit your char as indicators

this way you don't have to keep staring at your power tray

cause..........immersion

I know but it’s a pain in the ass to constantly watch that, especially since the buffs are constantly moving around, and sometimes even disappear. The rings are more consistent and easier to keep your eye on.

I love that idea, but I think it’s probably a lot harder to do than just adding more rings.

Yup I love the new mechanics for some of the powersets. (mmm mmm energy melee)

But as the locus coeruleus structural integrity declines as we age

focus and attention become far far more difficult (it'll happen to you too)

This mean I spend more time watching my power tray than anything else

I don't want to ignore all these fantastic scenes for buttons

 

if a visual indicator is too difficult how about auditory ones?
