Show remaining recharge as numbers?

I'd love to have mouseovers say:

Tar Patch
(recharge in 8 seconds)

rather than trying to eyeball slowly-growing icons.

The problem with simply having the number labeled on a mouseover is that, because +rech and -rech debuffs are rather common, the number wouldn't really mean much. I would much rather have the icons display in a more obvious manner how much of their recharge time remains (circle filling vertically or clockwise) rather than the rather abstract icons that we've got now (as far as I can tell, they consider going from the small dot to the full circle to be a full iteration of the base recharge, so that if you're enhanced for 100% +rech, it starts you at halfway, which doesn't really tell you much when you want to figure out how much time you have remaining until you get it back).

That would be very nice.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I'd be fine with it just being "at current recharge rate", and updating if the recharge rate changes.

In about 95% of circumstances I've been in, the number would have stayed accurate for the remaining recharge of a power.
