Default Make Stance and Chants indicators

When I mean indicators I mean that their should be something indicate that they have a stance, preperatior or chants on them like they do with enchantments. It's really mainly for pvp but I guess it could be useful in pve for some reason.

There are only 3 skills that remove stances, only you activate stances. They are fine without indicators.

There are many that have different behaviour if target is under a chant or shout. They should have indicators, like weapons spells have.

I think Mithran made the real point about why there isn't one.
Only you can put a stance or preperation on you. Its not like you'd forgot. You have it up on the upper left stat bar anyway.

While a rt casting weapon spells on his party needs to see so he can remember who he's casted on and who he hasn't yet.

And furthermore, why do we need to see who in my party is using a preperation?

I'm all for interface improvements, but only if they are actually helpful (like the update showing you the affect of deep wound on a target). This seems kinda unneccessary and would just clutter the interface.

I think stances & preparations are more meant for the ENEMY to see.

But general icons for under shouts/chants/echos would be nice, especially for echos

Yeah, but an enemy should be paying attention. If you are a warrior attacking a Mo/A in GvG and you see him use dark escape, you should hit him with wild blow.
Field awareness should already exist. You'd know if a paragon was on their team that he is probablly casting shouts on people. You should know that warriors will be using frenzy and sprint. Knowing the PvP meta will tell you what is going on way faster then some interface improvement because such a feature would still not tell you what stance/shout the foe is using.

Echoes are something more to notice in allies.
At least Echoes should have an indicator.
