    This is less an issue and more an inquiry/request into progress bar functionality in grid2

     

    Right now the progress bar uses the current max duration of the status to set the maximum value of the progress bar. With the new discipline priest 2pc tier set the duration of the atonement can be increased by 2 when it procs. It looks like on the backend it increases the atonement length by setting the new maximum value to 2 + current duration and then resetting the duration to the new maximum value. What this means for the progress bar indicator is that when the tier procs the progress bar resets to the maximum and decrements faster than previous. For example a 6s atonement and then your 2pc tier procs and extends that atonement to 8s the progress bar will reset to the top. So the bar at first would show 6/15 and then when it procs it goes to 8/8 and decrement faster, which is not very good for seeing at a glance how much atonement you have left. 

     

    One solution I can think of is the ability to manually set the maximum duration of a status for the purpose of progress tracking. So if you could set the maximum duration of the status to 21 the duration increases would be properly tracked. Theoretically, the value could go above the max but that could just be rounded down to the maximum value so that 25/21 would show as 21/21 which would probably be acceptable.
