Default icon for echoes

I was quite disappointed when they didn't add an icon to the party window for people under the effect of an echo. It makes playing a paragon (already tough to play) even that much more difficult. Does anyone think there's any chance of one being added? They did it for weapon spells in Factions...

no, i do not think they should be added, because its not an hex, enchantment or a condition to begin with, kind of like shouts that effect the party (ex. charge, watch out!)

We have icons for: hex, enchantment, condition (with colors as sub-identifiers), weapon spells [which aren't removable]. What's terribly wrong about echoes? It would make managing a Paragon's skills increadibly easier.

Weapon spells also have an added visual effect of turning the targets weapon into a glowing bone version. As far as I can tell, there is no visual indicator to let you know if an echo is affecting someone.

Agreed, this would be a great addition and make echo-focused Paragons much more playable. It's frustrating trying to determine whether your echos are still up or not on players/henchies. At least with heroes you can see it, but otherwise, annoying.

Also this should probably be in Sardelac or something. If it doesn't get moved, maybe remake the thread there because I think it's a valid point and definatley worth discussion. I'd be surprised if someone could come up with a valid argument against it, considering the weapon enchantments used by ritualists already do what is being requested.
