I must say, I do like the new effect on the healthbar, showing the damage taken from the last attack. However, would it be possible for the purple bars to e replaced with coloured bars, to indicate how much damage was taken from different types of attack? Much like how the coloured bars fall out of the player when hit by certain attacks (Red: Normal, Green: Elemental, Red/Yellow: Piercing, Purple:Shadow). These are useful, but aren't as accurate a representation as having them visible on the actual healthbar too. I think this would make it easier to understand, accurately, what weaknesses in the player's loadout are, when being attacked by different types of enemies.

In relation, would it be possible for there to be a damage sound effect when taking damage from status conditions? I always found it very useful when I heard the periodic sound of me taking damage when I was on fire, or hearing a damage sound whilst attacking when cursed, as it made it clear that the effect is damaging me. Recently, without any audio cue, I hardly notice just how much damage I am taking. It could be possible to have it so the different status conditions make different damage sounds to the usual.

As a random possible thought, maybe different audio cues (of varying intensity based on damage dealt) to describe the attacks you've taken damage from? Could also be useful, especially for those who are colour blind.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
