New HUD Feedback
After playing with the New HUD for a while I have some feedback to give.
-
The entire HUD is off balanced. It seriously bothers me because there is nothing in the left side of the screen. While this might not seem like a major thing it's like bad kerning and something that you notice everytime you look at the bottom of the screen.

In a similar vein, there is too much going on in the center of the screen. It can be hard to focus and or find an icon for example as the center HUD is too busy. I feel like there is information overload. There is just too much going on down there and I would prefer if some of it was moved to one of the edges so that when I look at the center of the screen I just don't see a big pile of numbers and pictures.

The cooldown, skill can't be used, and out of mana indications on skills are way too noticeable and too eye catching. I can't tell you how many times I've looked down to see if I still had a potion to use only for my eyes to be automatically drawn to a big red X over my skills. Or I am looking at any enemy at the bottom of the screen only to have my eyes drawn to a skill on cooldown. The colors need to be much more subdued and neutral so that you don't really notice them unless you are looking at your skill icon.
