There's a way to play Staff Evie and maybe Xgun Kai with having a sort of "glitched" form of UI. It's like playing with no UI, boosted frames and all, but you can also see your CDs, charged skills and I guess DMG. I'll list what UI features you can/can't see below. This ONLY works for battles with cutscenes in them, soooo mainly raids.

What you do is:

1. Turn your UI off completely before the start of a raid
2. When the cutscene happens AND before it ends, press the UI button once

What you can see in this UI:
-Cooldowns of non-quickslot skills, Charge skills. If you press alt(that's the button for me) you normally see the cooldowns of your spells and skills
-For Staff Evies you can see your Focus meter when you charge up, Cast Saves.
-For Xgun Kais you see your reticle sight, bullets remaining.
-Damage numbers, which is useful in Neamhain to see which of Neit's claws can still be damaged.
-HELP tags on dead party members. Again, this is useful for Neamhain also.

What you can't see in this UI:
-Quickslots, and quickslot skills(Regen, Clipped Wings as examples for Staff Evies)
-HP, SP, Stamina, Status effects(buff or debuff)
-Minimap
-Party HP and status effects
-Boss HP

I might've missed a few things when I listed these but these are the major ones I could think of right now. You guys might find more stuff to add to those if you use this.

Here are pictures of Staff Evie and Xgun Kai views:






I've been playing like this for a while now and it's helped me ALOT. Waaaaaay better than not seeing anything atleast. But really, no one should have to be playing like this in the first place. This "glitched" UI works for anyone really. It's just Staff Evies and Xgun Kais benefit the most cause they're not entirely blind

As a Staff Evie it's still pretty difficult for me. Since I can't see status effects, I have to keep track of my elemental masteries through the particle effects around my Evie. And sometimes when there's other Staffies in the raid, I have to manually count in my head to stagger the Regens. These are just SOME of the hardships of not having a full UI but atleast I'm not entirely blind.

SORRY for this wall of text but I thought it could help some people struggling with no UI especially the Staffies and Xgun kais out there.
