Why doesn't some warden spells such as Verdant Rapture and Sylvan Waters show in maintained window when used? Doesn't make any sense that they wouldn't show up. It's actually kinda anoying now that I realized they aren't showing.
Why would you want those to show? You can't cast either of those spells again before the effect wears off the target anyway

Because it would be nice to have a visual clue of when they wear off of someone. There are many spells like this and it annoys me to no end. Most of them show up in the Spell Effects window, even if they aren't actually spells, but not the maintained. This is an issue for me personally since I leave my Spell Effects window on Mouse-over only.Another example would be Food & Drink, which shows up in the Spell Effects window and not the Maintained window. Why? They aren't spells and I need to maintain them.

The death prevention gives that player a trigger ...so if you wanted to know if the trigger was used, you would have to 'examine that player for spell effects. (good luck<img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/49869fe8223507d7223db3451e5321aa.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />) ... The other indicator is that the death prevention casts a hot and buff on the person that triggers (natures touch er sumthin) maybe watch for that in your maintained , but i cant say ive ever seen it there , It would be one of the higher ranking icons in their effects window i think.

I use the icon that appears when I cast SoW on myself to keep track of when I will need to recast it on others in the group (cast on them first then myself last). This icon doesn't appear in my Maintained window despite it being a buff that I cast upon myself and that I have control over (let alone, will need to maintain). This applies to others such as Food & Drink, Defiler Water Breathe, and Stat Potions (just to name a few).I guess what I would really like is to see is the creation of 4 separate windows (instead of the recently current 3) broken down to:1. Maintained Effects2. Maintained Detrimental Effects3. Effects4. Detrimental EffectsFor me personally, it's just a matter of getting 1 more window and proper division among the 4 total. Meaning that, if it belongs in a particular window then please don't put it in another.Lastly, if an icon appears in one window, then please don't duplicate the icon in another window as it's redundant and counts against the 30 icon limit for 2 windows. If I cast a buff on myself that raises my STR then I don't need an icon in the Maintained window and the Spell Effects window, as it currently does.Well, these are just my own personal issues with these windows and how I would personally address them. I'm sure that there would be hurdles to overcome but it couldn't be any worse than it currently is, IMO.Sorry for the hyjacking, I thought this would remain on topic but now I'm not so sure so I apologize. Problem is that I don't really know anything about the spells mentioned in the OP so I probably picked the wrong place to post my general thoughts on a seemingly semi-related issue. Sorry.
