So like many, i recently started an inquisitor. But i noticed that word of pain doesn’t actually have ANY visuals other then the debuff you place on an enemy. This in my opinion looks really cheap and if you play a build with this skill, you are pretty much just waving at your enemies.
I don’t expect that much from this skill, but some visual distortion, or some kind of “rune” placed over the enemies or on the ground as you cast the ability to have some visual indicator that you used that skill would be nice.
Edit: I realise I probably should have placed this under feedback and suggestions, my bad!
There is actually a rune over the enemy head like CoF has. And like CoF it is a curse-damage/debuff hybrid which can also have increased functionality with mods from gear.
Huh, how about that. I swore there was no such thing when i played yesterday. Today i noticed that some of the enemies did get that rune you were mentioning, but I thought that since it was only applied to some enemies, it wasn’t the word of pain that was causing it. Turns out, it’s just that if you one shot the enemies they don’t actually get that rune.
I guess that would make it more consistent with other abilities.
Still though, I would not mind if there was some “curse” radius shown when you actually use the ability. Even if it’s just a vague outline of the area you are hitting.
Yeah, and to add to that I wish there was a circle on the ground showing the radius when you cast it, and that you could also cast it when no enemy is around. I just feel a lack of feedback when using it.
