Mind Melt needs an indicator

I’m just having a play around with my shadow priest. Love seeing the return of mind spike (though hopefully they fix its missing animation quick smart). Something I find quite annoying right away though is the lack of any indication that I’m at two stacks of mind melt. With so many procs and instant casts I’m very easily losing track and starting a hard cast of mind blast before realising it wasn’t time yet. It’s making it necessary to keep an eye on the top right of the screen. I’d like to avoid that.

Surge of darkness lights up the mind spike button and gives us the aura indicator. Instant mind blasts via shadowy insight light up the button and give us an aura indicator. Unfurling darkness and deathspeaker light up their respective buttons. Mind devourer lights up its respective buttons and shows the buff above our in combat health bar. It would be nice if we got anything at all for mind melt. Just showing the buff above our in combat health bar would be way better.

If there’s something in the options I’m missing that could give me such an indicator I’d love it if someone could let me know. Cheers. Also forgive me if I got any ability names muddled. They’re so similar and do a lot of similar things!

The base UI has always performed poorly with this type of thing. I’d recommend a weakaura

This.

90% of my UI is WA. From health bars to reactive indicators with stack counts, different types of glow patterns and colors for what is happening from MB having stack counts, cooldown, instant indicator, etc.

The default UI was fine in Vanilla. Complexity isn’t reflected well in the default UI now, though, even with “spell alerts lol lmao”.
