Scrolling Combat Text Revamp - DoTs as Italics, Color Coded Damage based on Damage Type?

While the current combat text is useful for telling the player if you hit something, it isn't so good at relaying what it was you hit with.
Now, adding on too much would be a bit overwhelming in my opinion (ability icons and the like), but I think that the current system can be improved with minimal additional clutter by color coding damage and font changing for different application methods (DoT).
I suggest doing so by changing DoTs to be Italicized rather than colored orange (though they can still stay at their fixed location), and having the combat text color indicate what type of damage is being applied (fire, frost, poison, etc.)

✭✭✭✭✭I use an add on Combat Log Statistics where I can change colors based on different things. I also think I can do the same thing with the flying numbers in AUIEnjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭changed disease to be brown, and poison to be dark green (originally disease was dark green, poison light green) so that poison damage won't get confused with healing.0 -

AFrostWolf✭✭✭✭I used to use Combat Cloud because I wanted floating combat text that was color coded. Very minimal and easy to get used to. If they could do that, I'd be so happy.0
