HP UI change suggestion that I am not totally serious about... but equality

[braneri1]

People would cry too much that it could be used for 'harassment.' I don't know if any parsers can separate the two since I'm not on pc but I have seen pictures of parse results that show the amounts of damage each person took throughout the encounter, so it might be possible. But, you know...'harassment.'

Fearmongering is why we can't have nice things.

Fearmongering is why we can't have nice things.

The secret service has been saying that for 'years'! Which is why they stopped making observation and abduction announcements.

On a more serious note: What would qualify as "avoidable" and "unavoidable" damage? A DRK/PLD outside def stance technically eats 20% avoidable damage at all times and cooldowns add a lot to it. And lag can quickly turn a technically avoidable damage source into a practically unavoidable damage source. And is damage taken from a DoT the healer could and should dispel avoidable or unavoidable? Clearly, it is avoidable, but not necessarily by the person who takes it.

The idea is nice in theory, but I'd wager it would not be particularly useful in practice.

...

I would start with something simple. Can you dodge it? Yes - avoidable. No - unavoidable. Can you dodge dot? Yes - avoidable for the whole duration. No - unavoidable. Also I would let every player remove the avoidable portion if they self-healed either right away, or something healer should heal.

Tank not using tanking stance... that could be step two. They are kinda increasing healers work.

This indicator should mainly show what is and what isn't healer failing at their job.
