I believe that there should be a way to see how much time is left on your buffs/debuffs. It doesnt neccessary have to say time but it could show like a cooldown does with the clockwise motion changing it from dark back to light.

    Just a tiny bar appearing below the buffs shouldn't take up much space and only actual time shows when you hover cursor over the buffs. I think it's a good idea.

    Like I said, there doesnt have to be extra bars or even numbers. It could be like the cooldowns on your abilities. It could go around the icon in a clockwise motion, changing it from the dark icon back to the light icon.

    As most buff's have different times, a more reasonable alternative would be to, when hovering your mouse over the buff's icon, have a time displayed.

    Or you can open your eyes and watch when the buff's dissapear..

    My point is this. What if said buffs were to run out in the middle of a boss fight and get people killed?


    That is why a timer is requested. So that you know how long you have before said buff runs completely out and you are not screwed to a board looking like a fool.

    I like the idea of it looking like the cooldown on skills.
    The only way to win is to quit. b:bye
