Enemy Display

Enemy Display

When an enemy is nearby or is becomes a target, a color-coded circle will appear, indicating the level of difficulty of your opponents. Additionally, hovering the mouse cursor over your enemy will activate an information bar, providing more detail on the enemy’s current health points. In addition, the bar contains notes on the opponent’s level, name and type - such as “Monster”. The opponent’s resistance values are also displayed.


Intuitive Symbols, Resistance/Damage

Intuitive Symbols

Symbols are used for resistance values (for opponents, armor and your character) as well as for damage caused by weapons or skills. If the resistance or damage values are not listed in absolute figures, the symbol’s transparency provides a good idea of this value. The more transparent a symbol is, the weaker the resistance and/or damage.


View All Bonuses

View All Bonuses

This feature can be accessed via the ‘Sum’ button - this is the “+” (plus) symbol to the right of the character image health bar. This is the at-a-glance, visible display of the bonus, resistance and damage values your character currently has – either naturally or improved through objects or equipment. If, for instance, you have two pieces of equipment that improve the Physical Regeneration value by twelve points each, the total bonus value (24) is displayed in this information window.
