Not too sure if anyone suggested this yet, at least I haven't seen any in the other forums but could have missed it because i was skimming.

Anyways I was thinking that it might be a good idea for some sort of timer system on the enchantmnets. For example that skill with the assasin where you run faster for some time but warp back. I'd like to know when it is about to end so I can get my skills off before I poof back to my starting point. Same goes for enchantments like armor buffs and stances.

I know that currently the game makes it so it blinks when the skill is about to end but that seems like a very short time to give me notice. I know for some of the shorter lasting enchantments its ok, but when you have a bunch of enchantments at the same time its hard to keep track which one was cast when. This becomes even harder when the enchantments last for up to a minute. So i think some sort of continual tracking would be a good idea. My suggestion is that the enchantments that are displayed (Which are currently on you in the status bar) should also have something similar to the recharge skill design (maybe a different color or something for clarity). That way you have a rough estimate on when you enchantment will end and can plan ahead of time what to do. Another possibility might be a timer with digits but i think the former was a better idea because where all used to it by now. Any comments?

You could look at how much the skill has recharged and time yourself from there... For example, an enchant that lasts 15 seconds but has a 30 second recharge. By the time the enchant has worn off, the skill will be half recharged.
