A Modest Request For Vermin And Elemental Empathy

[Meriadeuc]

If the development team has time, I was wondering if it might be possible to please make a small change in the way vermin and elemental empathy enhancements are implemented? Rather than them being active enhancements that have to be placed in a hotbar and invoked seperately, could they be changed to passive enhancements that simply make the existing wild empathy active icon opperable on vermin and/or elementals? In addition to the dificulty of finding extra hotbar spaces for these enhancements as they are implemented now, I often find myself, when in the middle of a fast-paced battle, forgeting which key is which and end up using vermin empathy on elementals and vice versa (the icons look a lot alike). This is a small change, but I think it would go a long way towards making these offbeat and little-used ranger enhancements more popular.

Would be a good change. Another one that a few rangers have asked for is that the +empathy enhancements also work for improved wild empathy so you can charm vermin and elementals.
