Guild Wars 2 could have a counterpart to Final Fantasy's Scan / Libra spells, possibly in the form of an unlinked PvE-only signet. When used, this skill would output detailed information on the target into the chat log, including name, level, skill bar (with mouseover for skill descriptions), attributes, current and maximum health and energy, current health and energy regeneration, buffs and debuffs (with mouseover like skills), equipment stats (or the monster equivalent: armor rating, weapon damage, attack rate etc.) and species / army information, pretty much everything except model, skin and drop list.
- Why this is a good idea
- Makes it faster and easier to go through unfamiliar areas and evaluate henchmen.
- Makes it much less tedious to write monster articles on the wiki.
- May be easier to implement than a beastiary.
- Why it may not work out
- Could be difficult to implement.
- Would be largely pointless if the game includes a beastiary.
