Unclean Beast: Acid spit needs DPS/timer display.

When you're under the effect of acid spit, the icon should tell you exactly how much damage you're taking per second, and how long. As much as I'd like to keep track of my opponent's level and damage, I'm not asian. I can keep track of most things, and do the math to gauge whether or not to fight; But the acid spit eludes me. Mainly because I never really play unclean beast to track it myself.

Regardless, this is utterly vital in making quick judgements that can save your life, or kill you. It should be a given. DPS/Timer please so I can track how much HP I have, how much damage im going to take, and how long I have to live if it exceeds current HP.

Because we all know that determines that kind of thing.

Snarking aside, it would be nice to be able to see that, or at least see what level of Acid Spit it is. Easy way to kind of tel though is if they are level 1/4/7/10, Acid Spit will be level 1-2-3-4 respectively most likely, unless they are maxing other skills first.

You can't tell by the floaty damage icons that pop up above your head every time it deals damage?

Please tell me how what you say is exactly the same as what I suggest, and how it gives as much information. Then tell me why I shouldn't have this information.

Woah, didn't think I'd see you on here Ex, you got DG? Anyway Acid Spit does damage over 10 seconds I believe, I can't remember the numbers for each level though. And yeah, I agree, there needs to be some indicator. Right now you can only judge that you're gonna take a certain amount of damage from how much you're taking each second, then multiply it by 10.

Yeah, I got DG. Your name is unfamiliar, although I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and guess Exteel?

I can't remember the numbers for each level though.

So its a good idea, amirite. Even if I did know exact numbers and time, I can't count exact seconds in my head and not miss a a dot or two while trying to concentrate on many things at once, let-alone not noticing the acid spit mid-way due to clutter and the size of the icon.

I don't know why people debate these things. I'm not trying to make it out like it's a top priority, but it would be nice to have, Moreso nice than without it, and it doesn't provide any imbalances.

Ummm.. it does tell yuo how much dmg you're taking per second.

But yes, debuffs and buffs both need timers for when they'll end.

I'll add this to my UI suggestions thread.. I keep forgetting to.

No, just Paranon, you are Extacide from AoW, correct? Anyway King Mel got the game too, if you remember him.

Yeah, I think they need to redo the icons that show what's affecting you though, because right now they're so small and pretty unoticable when you're in the thick of battle.

The damage ticks once a second does it not? There's your dps. It won't tell you how much time's left though. On that point, I agree with innociv that the time remaining on buffs/debuffs should be displayed somewhere. Preferably next to the icon or on top of the icon rather than with a mouseover.

AoW..? Doesn't ring any bells if thats supposed to be a game, or community, or clan. Theres one other person on the internet who happens to use my same alias and has my IRL name as well. And I know him. Might be him, not me. But I'm not sure, neither of those names are familiar.

Whoops, sorry for the confusion. Extacide is one of my friends from my clan, I thought you were him.
