Combat Icon explained?

[RiflePoet]

Can someone please point me toward an explanation of a combat round? I assume the little line that refils is initiative. What are the little diamonds above it?

You have time on your attack animation (casting or whatnot) and then kinda attack cooldown time. So basically you attack, which takes one meter, then you rest wich takes another meter, and then attack, etc. Fast weapons have a lot lesser "cooldown" time.

I thought the dots were a hit point guestamation at a glance. The enemies dots go away as I beat them to death. Only got to play a little bit before work but that's what I noticed.

The diminishing line is how long you have before taking another action. As all characters wear different armor and have different stats there's no overall round per say, it's all individual.

Oh yea, those are endurance indicators.

The dots are their life...
The red line is their attack cooldown.

You can also disable that if you want for good ol' IWD feels with no indicators other than "gravely wounded" when you mouseover enemies
