It’s tricky to keep track of everyone’s health and buffs during a fight.

Right now, if you want to know who needs a heal, you have to type group and hope you catch whoever’s HP is dropping; unless it’s the main tank, it’s easy to miss.

It would be great to have a cleric-friendly combat prompt that automatically displays the full group status every time your combat prompt fires.

Something like:

[log]
<1181/1181hp 1055/1055mana 491/491mv 0tnl | W>

<combat_log>

Group Status:
<Name_1>       100%hp       Buffs: (S)(A)(B)(F)(RFire)(RCold)...
<Name_2>       100%hp       Buffs: (S)(A)(B)(F)(RFire)(RCold)...
<Name_3>       100%hp       Buffs: (S)(A)(B)(F)(RFire)(RCold)...
<Name_4>       100%hp       Buffs: (S)(A)(B)(F)(RFire)(RCold)...

<1181/1181hp 1055/1055mana 491/491mv 0tnl | W>
[/log]

With something like this, you could instantly see:

• who’s slipping on health so you can heal before it’s too late
• which party members are missing key buffs or resistances

No more frantic group commands in the middle of combat; your prompt would keep you updated in real time.
