Why doesn't Soul Reaper light up?

[ro9ue]

the real question is, why do you need a flashy light telling you what button to press?

Take it easy hard guy.

It should light up to be consistent with other classes.

All other classes that has light up animation is stuff you CANNOT use unless specific procs or percentage. soulreaper however is usable anytime.

Target health is a percentage. Soul Reaper delayed effect only happens when that percentage condition is met.

Also see moonfire/sunfire on Balance druids referenced earlier in the thread. These abilities are usable anytime, yet do more damage when they light up.

Even if it applied, your objection would be silly anyway. Obviously this reminder should be part of the default UI. It would be useful.

They already used the example of moonkin's moonfire and sunfire lighting up when they get a damage buff. Why can't soul reaper be the same? There are more important things to pay attention to in a fight than the bosses % hp.
