Curse

Hi, this may have been suggested before (i hate it when people say that), but i've just started a monk char after being a warrior, ranger and ele for what seems like eternity.

My problem is this, the other night one of the rangers in my party game me some greif over the fact that i didn't remove blind from him, so i checked the conversation all the way through and not once did he say "i have blind on me".

Wouldn't it me much more useful if monks could see conditions beside the health bars (and a mana/energy bar wouldn't hurt either) and not have to rely on the person afflicted telling us.

Any comments are welcome (preferably constructive)?

Well, on the party screen you can see a little arrow pointing down (I think it's green) when someone has a condition on them. However, a monk is not obligated to bring condition removal. Unless it's PVP, you know they're going to be a big threat, or you have mana and skillbar to burn, it's often more efficient to just let them wait it out.

you can already tell conditions pretty easily, green is poison or disease, red is bleeding and white is blind, weakness or deep wound.

How easy do you want it

In the case you described, the ranger should have called blind. That's the person's call. Obviously, there are times where you can pre-empt the target by watching the animations or whatnot.
IMO, relying on someone to call it is fine enough; I don't like the idea of the party bar being cluttered any more than a health (and maybe energy) bar.

The way to tell if someone is suffering from a condition is to look at the arrow on that persons health bar.If it is pink it is a hex if it is brown it is condition physical meaning blind,bleed.wound,weak and if it is green poison.You only need to look at their health bar to tell this.It is not always easy to heal up a condition if you only have 1 remover on you the best being mend ailment now you have to wait 4 sec before you can recast it if used.It was 2secs but it is now 4.That is all you need to tell if they have one or not.I hope this helps if it happen agian and you couldn't tell them you were waiting for it to recharge especailly in a big party.Not easy being a Monk.
