I notice in the gameplay trailer it shows the buffs in the bottom left corner, but I didn't see any time left on the buff (unless it's like an aura or stance, in which the buff never runs out). In D2, one of the most annoying things on my sorceress is to try and notice when my shiver armor runs out so i can refresh it.

Agreed (but for me it was Battle Orders running out for a Barb that frustrated me most...). I think any temporary effects should have a timer that the player can check (even if it's on a separate screen).

I think this would be a good thing to add, makes life easier and convenient and is important because buffs running out dictates how you play.

The game currently sports buff timers. It's a simple system right now, I won't go in to it too much as I suspect it might change. But to put your mind at ease, we already have a way to see buffs (and debuffs) and visually track the time left on them.

we're already in hell

Thank goodness. x.x I usually rolled a barb myself, and if you were playing in your early days with no gear re-shouting was a big mana hog if you weren't keeping track. Hehe.

This one will greet you with open arms... AND TEETH AND CLAWS!
