    should they show shields on top of HP?

    By this I mean I personally wish we could see effectively how much hp extra a tank has when having adlo or stones in up. Ex. If they say had 8k hp and I adlo\\'d them for 1k it would desplay the extra hp as a different color and show the amount they technically posses which would be 9k

    That would be a cool QoL feature.

    Oh god yes please! they did this in WoW some time ago, and it is a huge QoL bonus. And you shouldn't need an addon for anything like that, its a baseline game function.

    Even something simple like showing the "shielded" portion of the HP bar in a different colour over top of the bar proportional to how much is shielded. IE: How League of Legends does it.

    When I first read the name, I thought of the hp gained from pld shields, and thought it was stupid, but after actually reading the post, I highly agree. It would be very beneficial for pretty much everything. And it wouldn't take up any screen space either.

    They could do this, but it probably isn't possible because:
    1) Stoneskin and Aldoquium stack. Which one of these loses points first?
    2) Do you really need another indicator that the shield is down?

    That said, what they could do is color the HP meter with the amount of HP left on the shield, eg a green fill for the Aldoquium and a grey/brown fill for stoneskin that is shown at the end of the HP bar as a % "on top" of the remaining HP.

    To add to my original thought it would mainly be a QoL change but would also be a way to see just how much of your shield is left etc. Have it just overlay on the actually hp bar. Just got into healing stuff like fcob and just thought of it while learning t11.

    1. adlo takes damage first
    2. I don't need it but it would be nice.
