Is this really necessary? PH put 3 dots at the top of our skill when we are performing it. The first part of your skill the first dot is filled in, the second part, the second dot is filled in and so on. I don't know about you but the countdown leaves me no time to be letting my eyes wander. You don't need it anyway. Ther are only 3 turns on each skill and they let you know by the sound FX (scales). Thanks PH, but really, we don't need it.
