I'm trying out the set but it is hard to use because the animation for the proc is really hard to see when using Bound Armaments on a Stam Sorc tank. Even harder to see when Hurricane is going at the same time. I can hear a proc sometimes but it is the same proc sound for other procs so it can blend into the background noise. I don't have buff trackers because I'm on console so really unless I hear the proc sound I don't know it is ready to use. The 6 second resistance buff is impossible to see unless I have everything else off it is so small and around the chest.

Can you change the animation to be something like a blue/green version of the orange empower buff on the elbows when the proc is ready? Something that can be seen through Sorc skills at any rate would be helpful.

Otherwise I would recommend a revisit to the sets bonuses. Three spell resistance buffs, why? How about changing the 4 piece buff to boost max stam instead. The 5 piece as well can we lower spell resistance buff and either increase the bash lightening damage or replace it with a lightening DoT. In its current form the set is underwhelming which is a shame because I like the name and look of it and I think it could be a good pairing with Thunderbug for a fun tank set on a Sorc.

@Wrobel re the set bonuses and animation @SoundMaster (re the sound proc if that can be changed)

    Can you supply a screenshot ofthe armor set effect in question? Would a blue glowing arm effect (similar to how BSW causes the player arms to glow red) be more of a tell for you?

    It is a dark blue glow around the torso, which blends in with the dark blue glow of the bound armaments animation. The 6 second animation is a tiny electric crackle animation around the arms or chest I think.

    Blue makes sense because it is an electric skill it just needs to stand out from all the other flashy Sorc skills that I will have going as a tank:

    1) Crit Surge on hands
    2) Bound Armaments swirling torso
    3) Hurricane or Lightening Form bright light all over
