Cursed Weapon Indicator

With the new UI, the weapon scroll wheel is the only way to determine whether or not a specific weapon is cursed. Many players do not wish to use the weapon scroll wheel as it provides excessive clutter for no actual advantage (except for determining cursed weapons). I feel that the weapon scroll wheel should be used as an optional indicator for newer and less adept players who are not as proficient at changing weapons. Personally, I never use the "Change Weapon Up" key, and instead I have a specific hotkey for each individual weapon: Shift for Weapon 1, Spacebar for Weapon 2, "1" for Weapon 3, and "2" for Weapon 4. With these buttons, the weapon scroll wheel is extremely useless and unnecessary for the amount of screen space it takes up. That is, of course, unless I want to know which weapon is cursed.

In UFSC, Lockdown, and any situation where the player is using a Faust, the weapon scroll wheel shouldn't be required. In addition to the weapon scroll wheel displaying the weapons with their curse status, there needs to be an indicator--either near vials or health--that shows whether or not the weapon currently in hand is cursed. Not only would this change benefit players who do not use the weapon scroll wheel, but it would remove the necessity for even those who do you use the scroll wheel to have to change weapons in order to determine which weapons are cursed.

A great addition to your suggestion and +1

We could have, under our shield bar where status conditions are seen, some weapon icons with the curse mark on them, not too big, but recognizable so we know what's cursed.

The only problem is that the current UI also has no other way to display what weapon you're currently holding, so it's hard to find a place to show the curse. +.5

Maybe put the curse symbol

Maybe put the curse symbol floating above your weapon, like when a monster is cursed?

But the way it works currently, you have the curse symbol above your head no matter if your weapon is cursed or not. Are you suggesting to change that?

When your current weapon is cursed, you should have a purple ring around your feet. This way you don't have to look at your HUD to see what weapons are cursed.

This has been already in the game since forever, the only way you'd request is when you never get the experience of being cursed in game.

That only displays which vials are cursed, not which weapons.

I could've sworn it always

I could've sworn it always was also connected to weapon slots but doesn't seem to be the case now that I've double-checked.
