Since the patch there's been a red mark at the bottom of my screen displaying a sword over a bow. Why is it there, and how do I get rid of it? I'm not in combat, so I don't see any reason for a weapon-mark to be shown :/

    This is a new feature. It's an indication that your weapon charge is depleted.

    My partner pointed that out to me when we were grouped. I don't know for sure, but I guessed that it shows your group role (so that would be damage dealer). Try changing your group role to healer/tank and see if it changes.

    I'm sure it's not that. Only saw them on my low level Orc, not being in group.

    that could be the meaning. Should check that.. As I keep enchants up on my main chars, this could be the reason I didn't saw them on those

    As mentioned above it means your weapon charge is deleted AND you have no poison equipped.

    Charge your weapon, that will make it disappear. Repairing equipment will remove the helmet icon. You only get the icons when weapon charge or equipment are at zero. Pretty handy feature, lets me get remove another add-on feature. Sure would like to see a reminder like this for food/drink buffs.
