Console players desperately need an option to display effect and buff icons on the HUD. Maybe at the top center above compass? It is very hard to keep rotation going when you cannot tell when your buffs expire. Same for food buffs and negative effects. With no mouse over tip it would be harder to understand what each icon was but in time players would come to recognize the icons. Maybe add a green or red outline so you can quickly tell if its positive or negative effect as well as the time remaining until it goes off (similar to countdown you see on pot icon).This would make combat so much better.
Also, since IC patch I noticed a dodge roll, even in town, will cause my feet to sparkle. I assume this signify some effect/debuff or is it just a defect or to look cool...it doesn't.
Oh, and while talking about making combat more cerebral and less button mashy, an option to display damage numbers, at least on crits at a min, would be fantastic as well.
