Just a small thing. I think it'd be neat to have an option to see health bars on enemies. Just a little thing above or below them. It adds another basting of adrenaline in a fight to see your target's health bar draining. It also allows one to prioritize weak targets, or perhaps see what kind of damage your allies are doing. In a serious fight (such as the slime king) it can help you decide when the fight isn't salvageable or whether it's worth it to spend that energy to jump back into the fight.

Not everyone would like this, which is fine: make it an option that can be turned off, like personal damage indicators are now.

I'd rather see this on bosses then every little enemy.

Should I revive? I don't know. Can't till how close I am to beating the boss.

I only agree that there needs to be an indicator of some kind either health bars or specific attacks/movements at low health on bosses. Learning how many hits it takes to kill an enemy with your weapons at different levels is part of the learning curve.

I would love to see both features. A long health bar for bosses, and optional mini-bars for normal enemies.

It would have the additional benefit of letting players target the weakest foe in a large group, which would probably make arenas and danger rooms easier, so that might have to be considered.

I would like to see the feature on bosses! I mean, it makes sense either or not that you should revive yourself to take a bit on a tiny bit of hp from the jelly man.
