    This was brought up before in another thread but I thought it deserved a formal suggestion thread for better visibility in case it got overlooked.

    I am proposing that the visual for smoke end about 1 second before the actual effect does.

    The intent behind this change is to give players an advance notice for when they're about to become vulnerable again. Given that virtually no players go through the laborious task of keeping track of the duration of smoke remaining, the effective uptime of smoke is reduced at some bosses where the punishment for getting hit can be rather severe.

    For example, at a boss such as PB or Berga, a player may prematurely and unnecessarily start ducking the sed notes or lasers during the final 5-10 seconds of smoke as they are unaware of when exactly the smoke will end and getting caught off guard can result in significant damage loss or even death. Simply watching for when the smoke dissipates is often not enough leeway to avoid attacks in time currently and it is also possible for one to get hit at the same time the visual ends.

    By reducing the duration of the smoke visual by roughly 1 second, players are better able to benefit from the full duration of smoke and are also given more of a window to act on, which empowers both shads and players at large.
