Clarity: Why doesn't the bombardment arrow appear for anyone else in my group?

One thing I’ve learned from 20 years of playing this game is that Blizzard is really lazy when it comes to clarity. “Someone will make an addon for that.”

I don’t like using 3rd party addons, (I guess I’m in the minority of wow players) and being that some of my friends are coming from FF14 and are used to a high level of developer clarity, they aren’t as fond of addons either. Anyways, we are trying to coordinate our M+ group as much as possible, and we see huge spikes in damage when everyone is attacking my bombardments, however, its often a guessing game. I have been using a skull macro to mark the bombardment target as much as I can, but having this extra button press is kinda dumb.

Why can I see the rogue’s marked target, but they can’t see a giant arrow over the head of my bombardment target? This seems like a no brainer?

Well conversely it’s also an increase in visual clarity to NOT show it. There’s a lot of effects that don’t need to be seen that just add more clutter.

Bombardments doesn’t need to be coordinated. You’re almost never not having people cleave targets. And it can only proc every 2 sec at most no matter how many are attacking it.

Its more on you to make sure you target the right mobs with it instead of the reverse

Bombardments are marked, though? It’s a priority debuff under the target’s health bar, and it’s very noticeable whenever I’m in a party with a scalecommander. I don’t run combat addons aside from Details, so if your party members can’t see the big honking bombardment debuff under the boss’s health bar then there’s probably a setting they have to turn on. It is a big icon, it’s very hard to miss.
