Completely agreed. It would be easier to tell from being in action, but without trying, we can still at least suggest tweaks?

You could consider a more solid border around the main button, that would also give it a more distinct separation from the other buttons without taking away from the context.

I didn't get a chance to play with size earlier, but I did play around with saturation, color, and darkness/lightness levels for the modifier keys, and a border for the main button. Maybe one of these will appeal to MunkDev.
This is the original
This is with a Slight Border
This is with a Slight Border and Slightly Darker Mods
This is with a Slight Border and Full Desaturation of the Mods
This is with a Slight Border, Slight Desaturation, and Slightly Darker Mods
When I'm feeling less lazy, I suppose I could put different action buttons, or put a background.
Depending on the intended UI, it could be cool to colorize the modifiers, instead of reducing the saturation, like so:
Or colorized per class, that could be pretty cool (though Priest could present a problem, if it weren't just a straight desaturation for them...)
