View Full Version : Game Mechanics: Some dots don't display a buff icon

The entire standard poison dot line (shm/nec ones) fails to display their icons in the buff bar. You'll get the message when it lands and you'll take the damage, but no icon and (I think) no wear-off message. This occurs with dots from both players and mobs.

I've tried various UIs and spell icon fixes to no avail. Others have the same problem.

Other non-spell poison effects work as they should, including the various snake/spider poisons.

I just noticed this today. I thought I was being hit by a DD when one of the goblins in highkeep poisoned me, but it turned out to just be a dot that wouldn't show. Kind of weird, easy to reproduce.

This has happend to me often. Very difficult when your losing HP and not sure how many DoTs are on you

Not that I really care, but, can these 'invisible' effects be dispelled? Y/N? Someone please start a poll.

Bump.

No poll added yet... waiting...

Zoning makes the buff icons appear, apparently. Not that that helps.
