That would be nice but i want to see the HP too, so please with an option to see the HP.

Sorry for my bad english ;).
As many people have already stated, health values should only be an option in the settings menu. It is not necessary for you to see every monsters health level, however some people that are playing primarily for the PvE experience may prefer seeing the monsters health to compare it to their own.

Maybe them seeing the value of the monsters health, in addition to their current xp and health levels, might be just the edge they need to get that last monster kill in order to level up or to decide if it is time to cut losses and run. Monster health will have little merit towards the PvP player or the hardcore grinder/gear hunter.

Leave health values as in option in the in game settings.

Thanks.

Standing atop a mountain, looking across the burning lands as king. The most precious of this moment is standing atop the acrid remains of your enemies that have fallen to your war torn hands!
Why wanne see the damage your doing or the health of the enemy?

I think it's great you don't know how much life the enemy has. And you can see in your stats how much damage you deal. So why wanne see it every hit?

My opinion don's show it :)

It's a Action-RPG not a MMORPG

I voted to show in the options but I changed my mind. I agree with Tiems.

Do not give us any numerical value. Do not include a toggle for it either. Keep us in the dark.

giving options to the player is always good
I voted for the enable option. Some people may not like having more information being shown on their screen, and if they're a high level and killing enemies fast then there will be no point in having it. However, for the lower level members I think this will be a great idea!
Finally got a BETA key, Playing Game.....NOW
It's there in MMOs because of bosses rather than regular mobs. A lot of bosses have specific mechanics that trigger at certain hp threshold, which isn't true to PoE genre. I don't believe it's really needed for this game unless you make bosses react to certain hp value (which could really be fun).
I like the idea of having an option to enable health bars on enemies. For me, the stats system is one of the big draws of dungeon crawlers. I can have fun bashing zombie faces in blindly, but there's just something about critting for quadruple damage with your mace of +15 armor penetration and laughing at you enemy's piddly armor score. Having numbers on would make the game more enjoyable for geeks like me, because I like to math things to death.

At the same time, I would definitely like the option to turn the numbers off to cut down on screen clutter when it doesn't matter, or if I am having frame rate problems for some reason.

More options is good!
Also, turning it off is needed for extra pretty screenshots!
