Health bars for monsters

[nikoladn]

How about we put Health bars on top of monsters so we can tell how far away from death they are? It dosen't have to be anything flashy just an indicator on how far from death they are.

It has been suggested a few times and Meiun's answer was basically that it ruins the essence of the game, perse.

I've never been a big fan of the Monster health bars or the concept or the game relying too much on gauges or numbers. It is suppose to be more of an action game, and that just takes away a lot of realism and excitement when everything is layed out and spelled out for you in my opinion. I'd much rather have visual or behavior queues as to when they are getting low rather than seeing their health bars straight up.
