Hi,
This is brief and to the point. I would like to submit the idea of making a
setting to display all skills of players at the top of rounds followed by all
skills of enemies. this way, blind players like me, and those skimming in
parties of 2-9 will have an easier time reading rounds and knowing when things
go off/fail/etc.

'battle listen all 1' or 'battle listen all 0' will get rid of most of your
spam.

We already have "battle rounds" which gives a row of asterisks every time the
round changes, use that to track the change of rounds. And we have "cast info"
to show what skill/spell you are using, maybe even trigger it from the
roundchange, that's fine.

As for the spam, "battle listen 1" or similiar will only show "Camlorn hit
evil mob 3 times", which cuts down on the useless information quite well,
normally you don't have to see all the hits every player does.

The skills of enemies will not be shown, ever. Some bigger mobs would be a lot
easier, if you saw what they were casting, after all, you do not see what
skills your partymember is using, why would you see that from the enemy.
