After a bunch of hours testing, the buff icons really confuse me nonstop. As AR has already the bug that both slug and burst show up on your own buffbar (as if u get the def-down or knockback), its quite hard to find out wich buff belongs to wich power.
Also believe the timings seems pretty off, my LRM missile (nearly 4sec execution) only last a rough 9sec (from the moment i see the icon i start timing) and flametrower wont even make the 7.5sec. Added the damage doesnt always seem to add instantly, if i keep doing burst/slug over and over, sometimes the 2nd or 3rd shot shows exact same damage in my combat log. Like there is a delay in damage boost. (then again, same happens to the 100% recharge proc, it randomly shows up).
Overall damage? Only if open with snipe/burst/slug i see a good increase of damage, but with dual-dmg powers it might be hard to compare the numbers with the previous.
I remain very happy with tier1/2 mezz shouting, did a few rounds of pvp against a defender (sonic/elec) wich did a hold on me and i still could damage him quite alot, as he had no KB resist i got him on his butty a few times to keep him from healing (aid self).
But an avarage of 60-70% for a high-spam blaster? Unlikely.

Castle's already said that a homogenous bar won't work with Newfiance.
But I sure as hell want something other than blast icons, hell, give them a UNIQUE icon at least.

This is the key thing for me, I would like Blasters to be their own working unique archetype.
Not what is now starting to look like an afterthought with an emergency fix stuck on it.
I have enough status icons filling my screen as it is, I like my UI to be clean and easily readable, not a headache inducing mess of random icons that may or may not be attributed to our inate abilities.
Instead of pushing this through test I would rather they sat down and made it all a complete and unique package that helps define blasters, after all we have lived with Defiance for this long that a few more months really is not going to make much of a difference surely?
Yeah, about the icons, with passives showing and all my toggles on I can get up to almost 3 bars in my buff bar thing solo.
Put in Blast icons on top and I start to get a bit confused.
I gues some day it will be added, i hope at least.
I now just keep the numbers roughly in my mind, find certain chains that do a good bonus. Since im playing at 1680/1050 resolution, its quite a good overview on all the buffs/icons anyway.

you need to represent it in such a way that it doesn't depend on enhancements.

Yet you mention enhancements in basically every post you make on the subject

Only to show that the numbers will change depending on your enhancement slotti...
Oh, I give up. Go play the dumb game already!
