Suggestion: Show magic damage in hands area

Post by Bargeral »

When I attack with my weapons I can see the damage I did right in the right and left hands area. But when I cast a spell, I have to glance up at the monster to see the damage I did. It would be nice if spell damage showed up in the hands area too.

Thats a little bit of a problem since most (if not all, havent played long enough) spells are able to hit more targets at once

Now imagine a situation where you are facing a spider and a skeleton archer and you hit both enemies with 1 spell and it says 70 damage on your hands. You can't know if both monsters took 35 damage or the spider was weak against it and took 70 while the skeleton was immune etc.

Hmmm. It just seemed odd, playing "whack-a-mole" with the attack buttons and occasionally not seeing any damage - especially considering the mage's combat is the one where you need to pay a little more attention to that area to begin with. I suppose you could show a number for each hit. So like "10, 10, 9, 10" or "8, 0, 8". There is enough space... well assuming they don't have more than four or so monsters in the blast.

With the "Ice shard" spell (think it was the name) found pretty early in the game you could theoretically hit 16 enemies with 1 spell.. Show me the room for all the numbers and the brain to comprehend it ;)
