I just did a once-over of wiki looking at some of the paragon skills... crikey, it's hard to tell a lot of them apart.

EDIT: Revised for Chapter Three!!

LoL!
Compared to "green glowy people", these chant skill icons are much more similar and are way too hard to recognize. The main drawing inside the chant border is so small and all took from the same angle.

Yea, I can identify ANY skill in Prophecies instantly, factions and now nightfall ar e screwing with my head.

plz redo icons =(

EDIT: I think the reason I know proph ones is because if you look at them, there are a lot of skills that are just like a random design or symbol, all unique (example: spellbreaker). More skills like these.

One could actually make short animation with those skill icons.

Like Paragon doing YMCA:

hahahahahahahahaha XD the green people with "Oh Noes" were hilarious too :P

so yeah, imagine even more of those skills in the next chapter, heh, what will be next? >.> purple glowing people? mes beware :|

tho, tbh, im expecting more "white/black glowing people" for monks in divine favor >.> (unyielding, aura of faith, blessed aura then some blue things like divine spirit etc. its not THAT bad with those, but still, it can give you problems (not like they're used much..)

but, lets face it, NOTHING is gonna beat the heal other/heal area combo >_<

Arenanet, if I'm not mistaken, has asked the community to create and send in skill icons. I forget where/when I read that, I think it was shortly after the PVP preview event.

I myself can tell the difference in all those skills, and for me it's not an issue...

I keep my skill bar fairly small, and have considered making it smaller. I know my skills by their placement on the build, and not so much due to the icon. However, I do have to recognize skills cast on me quickly to determine my best course of action. I can see where people dislike some of the skill icons, but honestly I can tell the difference between those skills without much trouble. After a bit of playing Nightfall I will quickly assimilate the skill icons and recognize them and associate them with their skill as quickly as I do other skills. However, I should note that I've got excellent eyesight

its basically the same for all, another good one are the glyphs >.> or the bm skills, bouncing animals :/ could basically list every single attribute for every class, its the same for most :I

suppose theres no way around it..
