I fought Snarbolax my first time a few days ago and felt like I barely even scratched him (mix of tier 2 weap and tier 1 armor). I would at the very least like to see health indicator on bosses but having the option for monster would also make me happier. I am farely new (came back after a couple month) and am somewhat knowledgable. I searched the forum(not throroughly) and saw old topic that are a month or 2 old so here I am posting my thought.
Health Bar? For enemies. . .

This game is much like
This game is much like monster hunter when it comes to the lack of health knowledge.
Sure, at times myself, I too come to the thought of "I wonder how much hp he has left," but there was a monster hunter hack where you could see the monster's hp.
It made the game about 40% more stale, 80% easier, and 60% less fun.
It wasn't monster hunting, it was Final fantasy.
Besides, this is how they make money.
The more CE you waste the more money they made you lose, and therefore inevitably require to buy more to do better.
I mean you can say "well ressing is only 2, 5, or 10 ce", but think about this
how much energy, total, did you lose from ressurecting so far? I've probably died most to king jelly, and I wouldn't have ressurected some of those times when i was in t2 armor way back when if I knew he wasn't even close to dying.
This is also a money grabber, and there's no way they'd change that, but even if they did it'd make the game way to easy.
Like, I'm up for some minor tweaks to make the game more interesting, even if it makes it a bit easier in the long run, but this isn't one of them.

Subayo, whats your IGN?
I've done snarby before, and beating him will be easy. I can help you out, or just give you pointers.
Boss needs a health bar at least. in fact, at LEAST least, JK. I can never tell if he will actually die or not, and it pains me to not be able to at least see how close I got. It would motivate me to try again.

Boss or monsters which are
Boss or monsters which are close to death (1/3 health for monsters and 1/5 for bosses) should have special graphic efffect or have an animation which will show that they are exhausted.

That at least
Indeed. Roarmulus twins get damaged, snarby should be panting, dunno bout vana, and JK should get bubbles in his jelly :D
not another one... no, the way it is now adds challenge through uncertainty. you have no idea how how you have done, and if you did, you would throw yourself though everything just to kill it.
