Cue Request - Chronomancer's 'Now and Again'

Hello.

I have recently unlocked the 'Now and Again' passive on the ascendancy tree with my Chronomancer. While the passive itself is powerful, one thing that I believe would really help us players in getting the most out of its effects would be to have some sort of simple audio/visual cue to let us know when it bypassed a cooldown.

Without a cue, I notice myself wanting to look down at my skill bar every time I use a cooldown ability to see if it was bypassed, which given the nature of the game, can be fatal, or least of all disorienting. When using abilities with quicker cooldowns in particular, taking the time to consistently check and reorient your vision back up to combat takes away from its usefulness.

There are already a handful of POE abilities that come with a useful cue of some kind, and I feel we would benefit from 'Now and Again' having it as well.

Hello there! Fellow Chronomancer here.

Totally agree! UX/SFX cue for the Cooldown Refresh would help SO MUCH.

+1 to 'Now and Again' getting some kind of utility change.

Agree, time freeze should have something to show you when it expires. Also annoying is when you start boss fight and you get hit and interrupted from casting, meaning your time freeze was just wasted without effect, so maybe there should be some delay before boss starts attacking when he becomes attackable.

+1.

Unfortunately I can't just start looking at my active skill section and look for an instanst cooldown in a middle of a fight.
When I played Frost Bomb setup, during some moments I just spammed the button and pray that 33% chance gave me luck this time.

Yes it would be great to see something like a Hourglass icon popups above my character or something similar.

You can also start a boss fight and waste your time freeze because you hit it too early while the boss hasn't been "activated" yet (when the health bar appears) which means the time freeze not gonna work.

The change for Chronomancer that I personally want to see is with Quicksand Hourglass that reads "Every 12 seconds, increased Cast Speed by 50% for 4 seconds."

It's already bad enough that it's an uncontrollable temporary buff and becomes worse that you can't see when it's coming.

If there was a timer for all 12 seconds, and you got the buff during the first 4 or last 4 seconds, you could plan around that.
