    I've seen a lot of people raise some questions about whether or not there will be combat telegraphs in Pantheon. Because Pantheon claims to be challenging and immersive, but telegraphed abilities tend to get a bad reputation in a lot of MMORPGs for making combat too predictable and breaking your immersion. And sometimes they're a necessary evil. So I've taken a close look at the current combat system in Pantheon as well as all the times the Pantheon devs have talked about telegraphs and combined them into one cohesive commentary: https://youtu.be/s5M0BBc1xpE

    Great video Bazgrim.

    If I may attempt to sumarize:

    Telegraphing (Seeing an indicator before an ability happens) = bad.
    Reading (Seeing clearly where an ability effects) = good.

    Everyone should be able to "read" what is going on with skills and spell, but not get a warning (telegraph) where they are about to hit.

    nice sumarize: I am not a fam of the "look out for the Red and Jump into the Green" to much handgolding. The look where you are and see what is going on makes for a much netter player/
