Ability refresh timersIt's hard to see, without mousing over abilities, if an ability is available. Now when one is available, the grey bar that shows the timer hits the bottom of the ability and is gone. The problem is, the difference between 5 or 10 seconds and done is in the heat of battle hard to distinguish, if possible at all. We have to pick up our mouse and move it to the ability to see if the red text is gone.
Would it be possible to change the way abilities refresh visually, so it's easier to distinguish these two states, refreshing and available. There are a few ideas I have for this, but it depends on how hard it would be to implement.
If we could have a timer on top of the ability, it would be easier to see how much time is left, rather than having it on a mouse over, which requires a lot of extra work and lose focus of the battle. This is of course a big if it is possible and if it will fit and would probably require a lot of work from the UI modders too, but if this would be possible, it would help a ton.
If that can't be done or maybe as an extra option, could you make another layer on the abilities. Make a light grey on top of abilities that aren't available, a dark gray to show the progress. When an ability is available, you remove the light grey layer/turn it off. That way we can see if an ability is done or if there is still a sliver of refresh left.
A third option, if the second isn't possible, have an option to not show the refresh status, but just black for not available and coloured for available. This has to be an option, as some people would like to see the progress of their ability and others just want to know if it's available or not.
If you could make any of these changes, it would help me and I bet others a lot too.
