Let us see bosses' HP in numbers

Um.. what? Min-maxers already have parsers anyways, you're definitely overthinking this if you think it gives people who parse any extra advantage/information. All of the numbers you need to be a jerk and kick somebody based on DPS are already in the parsers that have been getting used since launch. SE doesn't ban parser users unless they use them to harass people and talk about them in game. ToS-breaking or not, tons of people parse to track their own personal performance.

How would seeing raw numbers of HP cause this to happen

As opposed to seeing the %

How would the raw number help you? Are you somehow going to push buttons faster or remember to use a cooldown because you know you need to deal 29,543 damage as opposed to a few percent more?

Just look how much time it need to drop from 10% to 9%. Then you can estimate how long it still need to kill it.

And never use LB1

I support this. I don't really care about seeing their HP during the fight, but it would definitely entertain me to know the total hp of all the bosses in the game.

This wouldn't really effect much at all, it would be a nice little neat feature if added though.

Anyone who sees any harm in this is overthinking it imo.
