Evidence of Verdict?

[Tarta]

Has anyone ever seen any mention of Verdict or it's effects in the combat log when it is successful? I try to see if it fired or not and just come up blank. As far as I know this is the only spell in the entire game that has no mention in the log. I'm not talking about damage points either, which would be nifty, but just some mention that the mob was Verdicted or something.I do see resists in the log. For instance:<b>YOU try to smite Uustalastus Xiterrax with Verdict, but Uustalastus Xiterrax resists.</b>But I recast it on that fight (and on other fights as well) and I'd like to see what happened, if anything. Sometimes a big blue gavel just isn't enough. (sorry, it's nice, but is that all we get?)Maybe I'm just missing it, please help - or please put something in the logs Devs.Thanks,Tarta - 70 inquisitor - Guk<div></div>

Yup, never seen anything myself.  I just Watch the pretty hammer fall and crush the mobs toes. <div></div>

There is a message. Its something like: Mob has been banished. But a little more verbose. It will appear before the kill shot.

And it doesn't show up on the parse either : /

I think we need to lobby for the damage being added to the logs. Should be pretty impressive <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Oh yeah  that would be nice to see on the parser at raids hehe Highest hit   Ragefighter   45,000  Verdict Wounder how much DPS that would give <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>
