Poll: Monster life number display

Should numbers be shown on the monster life bars?

Yes
59517.58%
If enabled in the options
227767.29%
No
51215.13%
I vote no.
I also vote no to any sort of in game damage tracker or anything of that sort.
Hell I would take out the life bars if I could.

I think this would be a nice option so we can see enemies exact HP. I don't think I would use it permanently but I would like to know how much HP the enemies have so I know if I am overkilling them of if I need more damage.
If it is added, I'd put it in the Options (disabled by default). That said, I'd never enable it.
please add - as an option so purist dont interfere - dmg numbers!!

without them determining how this game works is impossible and we are left to guessing games - these, belive it or not, are not fun
3rd option seemed like the right choice.

This attitude annoys me about game design. "We have something we'd like to add to the game as an option, but people get overwhelemed by too many options. What a conudrum!"
I don't get overwhelmed by options, I like them. Customising the game experience so it better suits what I want is ideal. Can't you just have an advanced tab, for people who like options?

I WANT ALL THE OPTIONS!
Give me all of them.
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

Its 2013, where is the option? :>
English is my third language, there will be bugs.
It is not needed but it would be nice as an option.

Regardless, it would need to be rather small and not clutter the UI.

If anything, I'd make a whole new tab in the option panel for that. It would be:

* Show numerical value for monster life (the bar at the top of the screen)
* show numerical life value above monsters (next to the new hp bar)
* show numerical life value above monsters for elites monsters and higher
* show numerical life value above monsters for rares monsters and higher
* show numerical life value above monsters for uniques monsters only

ah crap, this is a very old necro...

Yeah it's a necro. I don't really care too much about seeing the exact life amounts.

But if I could see a percent remaining, that would be amazing.

It really sucks when you can't exactly measure how fast you are killing a monster so that you can predict how much hp is left for that 'final blow'. Hell, even a % for the last 10 % would be nice for bosses alone.

I probably wouldn't use a monster life-number display most of the time, but it might be handy as a toggle in boss fights or when I want to confirm actual damage performance. And for wiki page updates on life totals.

So yes, please add it as an optional feature. It was a good idea two years ago and remains a good idea now.
