So I've noticed there are a ton of different icons that can appear above players' heads and monsters' heads. There is a guide out there already:


However, there are a couple of questions:

- The [!] icon can appear above monsters as well, what does this mean?
- There are icons that are not documented in the image above:
-- There is a "flame" looking icon. It first appears yellow, and then red. The monster's health bar border also turns a glowing red. This only appears on normal mobs and not BAMs in dungeons. What is this?
-- There is an icon that appears above mobs (not specific to dungeons) that looks like an antenna, like the one you see on cell phones to indicate signal strength. Whats this?

... usually means player is watching cinematic
Dark bg ! = Mob is basically saying "I see you!"
Yellow Bg ! = Mob saying "now I'm gonna get you!"

This is excellent info. Thank you for sharing... I too was wondering what all the icons were actually trying to tell me!

In addition, you will see the mobs' HP bars appear in red once they aggro to you, in addition to lighting up on your minimap.

The flame icons appear when you have a warrior stacking Edge on the mob. The flame shows up as yellow when the warrior's Edge is high enough to be exploited (normally 5 stacks), then changes to red when fully stacked (10 stacks).

Currently, warriors can exploit edge using Challenging Shout (longer stun and higher aggro generation) or Scythe (higher damage multiplier).

I am also curious about the icon that looks like signal strength. I *think* it implies the monster entered combat due to social aggro (being "linked" to a different target that you initiated combat with) but I can't be sure).

Edit - It might also be mobs that gain some kind of benefit from being in close prox to one another.
