Predatory instinct ascendancy node issue

Hi
I am playing on Xbox series x and I have chosen the predatory instinct node which says it reveals enemies weaknesses for one of my ascendancy’s however I’m finding this an issue in that when the weakness of the enemy is shown below the health bar it shows an icon but I have no idea what the icon actually represents and there is no way in game to find out and understand what the enemy would actually be weak to so I can utilise a skill that would actually have the same element as their weakness. I know when an ailment is on your character you can press the start button then press the right stick down and move the cursor over the buffs/debuffs and read what they are but there is no way to do this for the enemies and there is no tooltip or anything else that shows a list of all your icons and what they mean, it’s very confusing. It seems that showing the icons without anyone understanding what they mean is pointless, they may as well not be there as I see them appear and think ‘’oh that’s good I wonder what I’m doing to cause that and what it actually means”, is there a way you can incorporate a function like with buffs/debuffs on your character that you can see the icons and an explanation of what they are in game, either be able to pause with the start button and show them on the same screen as the buffs/debuffs of your character or also incorporate a screen that lists them all that you could look at? Please investigate and consider. Kindest regards.

You are misunderstanding what the skill actually does. The weakness isn't like elemental weakness how you're perceiving it. The weakness shows as sections of the health bar that are just weak to damage in general so when an enemy has their life bar within one of the highlighted areas that counts as having a enemy with an open weakness in your presence for those buffs. When dealing damage to enemies when the health is in the highlighted section you will just do more damage that's all.
If that was so then why under the enemy health bar does it show the icons for its weaknesses? Have you used the skill or is that just what you think it is? As I’ve been using it and it does indeed show icons as I described. In addition I fought one that I recognised the icon as fire so I switched from my electricity main skill to my fire skill and its health bar was reduced significantly faster in the highlighted section due to using the fire.

You are definitely misunderstanding the skill. Predatory Instinct creates sections of weakness on rare/unique enemies. those sections take increased damage (50% more dmg) the Resistance Icons you see are in regards to a monsters weakness. Bronze/Silver/Gold Icons. each representing 25/50/75% resist if I am not mistaken in regards to the number. The mod you killed just so happened to be weak to Fire which is why it died more quickly on top of the Predatory Instinct notable
