Playing a bonder and maintaining a considerable amount of enchantments can get confusing at times when there's enemies stripping the enchants. Most of the time it's easy to tell who's been removed, but sometimes you have to hover over every single maintained enchant to try and figure out which party member is missing one.

Instead of hovering over every single maintained enchantment, I'd much rather see the number of who the enchantments are on without the need to hover over the icon. Something like this would be perfect:



This would ease the pressure off of bonders a lot. It's hard enough as it is anyway heh

I love that Idea! Just as you say, playing a bonder can get very difficult when some players loose their enchantments. There is no easy way to determine who lost theirs. The mouse over effects are too "touchy" to be useful.

Shamelessly plugging my own thread. How pifitul. But still, it's been suggested before. If you'd like, you could bump my thread.

I like Undivine's style better. Yours could get to be a pain, especially if you life bond the ENTIRE PARTY.

Not signed, but the idea is there.

still a good idea

i prefer this to them stacking on the part list.
however i think having a group on a voip server helps coz they can say what they have lost

What if you put an enchantment on someone who isn't in your party? Does it just default to the regular way?

You know in the game it DOES show an arrow near their name in the party window. Why not just check to see if its gone?

My idea would be for bond enchantments to be a different colored arrow on their health bar. Currently there is yellow and what a orange? So make life bond blue, life barrier green etc etc. That way you know who has a enchantment stripped and which one.

I think this is a good idea it would help out alot. Quick glance to tell you who is missing what.

There are too many maintained enchantments to colour code them like that... plus it'd give the enemy a lot of info with just a glance at the health bar.

Bonding is a pain when every enchantment is a Up arrow. :/

I like Undivine's thread though.
