mind squash

Mind squash removes positive spells right?

Ok - if it cancels my sow or acrobatic i'll know about this coz the animation (which is permanent) will disappear.

But when a spell is removed which has no permanent animation (spell elude, evasive tactics, dodge, etc) - i have no way of knowing that it has been removed.

If someone is going to come along and cancel spells which i rely heavily on in battle, i need to know about it.

At the very least, i need a message in the log.

Well you see the buff icons disappearing. And you see the Mindsquasher message (doesn't always work, but when you see the message, you check your buffs to see if it succeeded

).

Well you would see the mind squash in the log
and that the icons disappear from under your health bar.

I dont see how it is needed, but if its a problem
i guess a message wouldnt hurt.

Actually i think would be more important to
have a message for the caster if its successful or not.

Its hard to keep track of spell icons, especially if there are a lot because of buffs and shields from mages and knights.

I guess i'm simply expressing the confusion i sometimes feel in the chaos of battle, when i know i've been mind squashed but unsure exactly how it has affected me...

BTW the last message (from williecalder) was from me - i thought i'd logged in as makarios...

Theres some spells in the game thats hard to notice if been hit by it. most stunning effect from stunning fist for me is actually that i only notice it due to the "cannot attack" spam in my log.

Theres no other way than paying attention to the skill icons.

The icons disappear. MS also has a graffic. It's pretty easy to see once you know what it looks like.
