Would it be possible to add a countdown timer to Protection Field as well?

take a screenshot of your ingame layout, maybe there's something else we can look at.

I took the screenshot so you can see the Flaming Sword and Counter Attack timers counting down. I was hoping for a timer on the Protection Field icon which counts down from 75 seconds to 0, so I know when it's going to die and can recast it to ensure continuous protection. If not a timer, just making it flash when under 10 seconds left, as the icon in the top right does, would be sufficient.

To be honest, I've never understood why such things aren't just "always on" or an on/off skill since there's no fun in merely pressing a button now and then, the fun in Mir lies elsewhere, and I can see very few scenarios when someone would choose to not have extra AC, but I get the impression such an idea is heresy in the world of Mir. :)

But why, it seems so silly. IF you dont have the mental capacity to remember to press the button. Play a sin and remember to cast haste then go back i think you'll find your fine. Or just write a macro to press the button every 60seconds eliminating the whole conversation.

Actually jamie can we just have an autocast on spells like this. so we never have to worry about it ever again.

Aww, c'mon, I'm only a dumb warrior mate! You think we even have mental capacity let alone know how to write macros?

As I said before, it's only sometimes that I forget when a fight with a particularly large group of mobs goes on for longer than the buff duration.

It's not a major problem, just a QoL issue. I thought this section of the forum was for suggestions for improving gameplay?

If you have worked out how to do this Jamie, could you do the same for Rage?

Either the buff duration counting down on the skill bar or just the icon on the skill bar flashing for the last ten seconds.

Alternatively, would it be possible to make the icons in the top right individually movable (like the skill and belt bars) so I can put the PF and Rage ones down the bottom where my focus is?

Sorry to go on about it, but when you're hunting with a tao you end up with 10+ icons in the top right and it's very easy to miss the end of a PF or Rage.

I realise I'm just one man, but I'm sure if I think it would be much better with the timer on the skill bar then others do too. :)
