View Full Version : UI that displays ward amounts

Is there any UI mod out there that can display how much damage is left on wards? I find it extremely tedious to constantly have to hover over my tiny buff icons just to see how much is left on a ward. Not to mention the buffs move around all the time just to make it even worse.

If you see that little icon disappear, just throw a new ward as you dont have to worry about running out of power which almost never happen with a defiler.

I have never seen one.  WOuld be nice though.  The good thing is with the power regen a defiler has, casting your wards again before the previous one drops isn't always a bad thing.

Renewing wards is slightly less power efficient than letting them run out and recasting. Whatever is left on the ward when it runs out translates into a heal. If you renew before the ward runs its course then that small heal amount is lost. Of course, I would rather have the comfort of having a fresh ward up and running and forego the small heal at the end, but that is just my preference. Majo

Profit UI has a nice big "Your buffs" window. shows anything you put up and how much longer it will last. Curses, dots, wards conc buffs. big icons that dont move much(maybe 1 space or 2 depending on how many short termed debuffs u got up). Have to hover over them to see how much warding is left but its really ez to tell when yer ward is gone. the default icon size for them is about the size of my gnomes head vs the size of a pixel mixed in with 30 other buffs

Thanks for all the advice. I still can't believe there is no mod that shows the amount wards have left though. Unfortunately, the mod community for EQ2 seems to be really small. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

My guess would be that it is not easy to do.  With the amount of classes out there that have wards, if it was something easy (if possible) it would have probably been done.perhaps some /feedback to the devs will get something like that put in.
