ES / HP UI design suggestion!

In short:

PROBLEM:

Energy Shield is very hard to see, especially on the HP/ES bar on the left.
We do have the HP/ES bar above our heads, but it's very small. It's the same if you have 200 ES or 20.000, which is a big problem for Hardcore especially.

SOLUTION:

Whenever your Energy Shield is bigger than your HP, they should swap places. Here's the UI with HP > ES:



Versus the updated version, whenever your ES > HP:



P.S: I'm playing Hardcore as a Lich, i cannot relay on the ES bar above my head.

Let's be honest life/mana orbs aren't very reliable, that's why a lot of players turn life bar and numbers on

Your idea would be better than nothing i guess so +1

It's still awful to play ES builds, especially low life in HC. I'm constantly scared for my life, i hate barely being able to see my ES (which practically is my HP).

And the tiny bar above my head doesn't help, can we please implement what i've suggested above as a toggle option? I BEG YOU GGG.
