Move the buff icons (please)

First of all, great work with the new buff icon borders, they look great.

But please move the buff icon position to area above exp bar. There are 3 main visual concentration points when playing the game, and none of them are near to left corner.

that would block the area above your exp bar, which would make trying to shoot anything down nearly impossible. the vision is already limited in the up and down area of the screen, this would just make it worse

/edit: i'm more worried about the fact that with a lot of effects on you (like in a party) when you target a monster it blocks the view of some of the effects. i'll make a screenshot when i can

Well from my experience, when I'm in thick of mobs, I'm always looking at my health pool and pots, and occasionally look at mana resource. Moving my focus to upper left and back to health pool on 23" monitor starts being a problem very quickly.

There's one other place you're lookign too, and that is at the monsters. Antistes is right that putting large buff icons right where you want to see the monsters would be really annoying.

I don't understand that reasoning, it's not like they cover half of screen. If you put them right at the corner of pot frame and exp bar, and make them a bit smaller (because they don't need to be large anymore, as you will almost always have them in your point of focus), they really shouldn't get in a way.

Just make the Buff / Debuff Bar moveable / custom but this is and was always a problem in so many games i played no dev get it.
There are so many short duration buffs that you have to manage this makes our life easier.

mmhm I don't know of many games that let you drag the user interface elements around. The only ones I'm aware of off the top of my head are World of Warcraft and Morrowind.

I play on a 32" TV and i got no prob with the buffs

I would love to see an addon (kind of, i think i've read something, that it's not possible to make addons for poe) like power auras in wow (i think it was called so). so you can personalize the auras and buffs you want to see, i.e. move important buffs you have to watch like frenzy- power- and endurance charges to a position where you would like to have them. of course you have those bubbles floating around you, but you don't have the timer on watch and you don't see them when you're cycloning the sh*t out of mobs. i think this also would make a great implementation to the game.
