I’ve been gaming with Last Epoch for a while and mostly with the necro … With the Skill Dread Shade it is often difficult to see if the skill is active on, for example, your minion in the battlefield with all the shit around it. Can’t an icon be made just like chill sitting above your bar?
Information in the UI like debuffs and buffs are a thing EHG is working on.
Devs already said that they want to only show buffs that are really important and would change the way you play or behave in situations, so they definitely do not want to show everything.
With your Dread Shade example, since it’s a skill that can be on various different targets, maybe they could add a counter within the Skill Icon, how many active shades you currently have.
Maybe that would be better and more fitting that a Buff Icon, but that is of course also a solution.
Hi, thanks for the fast response. That would be also an very nice solution if an counterbar in the skill. its would help a lot to see if its up and when its ending.
While this information is definitely helpful, i think it’s hard to implement showing it, since you can have multiple Dread Shades at once.
I don’t know how much you already played, but the more you play, the more you get a “feeling” for the duration.
Maybe the dread shade graphic could have some stars around it that show how many seconds (5/10s per star) are left. But have that as an option since it would look a bit odd. Or have it when you press Alt.
