"Snipe" Skill: Request for distinct Haptic/Visual/Audio cues for Perfect Timing

Hi GGG team,
I’ve been experimenting with the Snipe skill in Path of Exile 2, and while I love the "Perfect Timing" mechanic in theory, I’m finding it extremely difficult to execute consistently in actual combat scenarios.
The Issue:
PoE2 is visually stunning, but it is also very "busy." Between the dark environments, particle effects from monsters, and my own skill effects, it is nearly impossible to track the subtle visual indicator on my character for a perfect release. In the heat of a boss fight or a dense pack of mobs, I find myself guessing the timing rather than reacting to it.
The Suggestion:
To make the skill feel more rewarding and less frustrating, I would like to request enhanced telegraphing for the perfect release window:
Enhanced Visual Clarity:
A more distinct flash, a change in the crosshair color, or a UI element (like a gauge near the character) that clearly signals the "Perfect" window.
Audio Cue:
A sharp, high-priority sound effect (like a "ping" or a metallic "click") that triggers exactly when the perfect timing window opens. Audio cues are often easier to react to than visual ones in cluttered combat.
Haptic Feedback (Optional):
This is the most important for controller players. Please add a sharp, distinct vibration pulse at the exact moment the "Perfect Timing" window opens. A tactile "thump" or "click" feeling in the triggers/grips would allow players to time the release by feel, without needing to squint at their character amidst the chaos.
The mechanic is great, but it currently feels like I'm fighting the visual clutter rather than mastering the skill. I hope you can consider adding some accessibility or clarity options for these types of "timing-based" abilities.
Thanks for the amazing game!

I agree , channeling skills need indicators or something to understand when its ready for full power to unleash.
