Sound Design: finisher

It's often unclear when a finisher is happening. It would be great to introduce a specific sound effect for finishers so players can more clearly track successful final blows.

Also make it obvious graphically. I play without sound most of the time.

+1. Sounds for for the finishers is a must have. And slightly different sounds for Deadly ones

Agreed

to be fair you currently have a different attack animation aswell as 3 word texts popping up on the screen saying stagger, Daze, Snared :P i havant realy had an issue on the ranger knowing when the finishers have proced but i guess a slightly different sound effect for finishers would also help

Book is particularly bad for knowing when a finisher is happening. A lot of other weapons have a multi-hit as the second to last attack, and book just looks like a lot of arm waving. It probably needs an animation update.

If you don't get a deadly/extended finisher, you don't get the text

book is the one where the final finisher is most obvious - the book does a notable swirl while the character thrusts his fist in the air.
And the wand does it's beam (Which is terrible because it animation locks you)

Other than that I agree. The only way to know you've triggered a finisher is the status condition proc text.
