[QOL request] Enemy Hp values visible on health bar.

[DracotheDragon]

ok been a while since i last requested something with a QOL ( http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...rks-on-minimap ) so here goes nothing

So we all know that we can have either have the % hp remaining show up next to the health bar or nothing at all, and that is good and all, but i was wondering if we could gain the ability to see the actually HP values of bosses as well either next to the % remaining,

for example what we have now would look like

The Avatar 50%

which is fine for knowing some transitions

but what i am asking for is for a option to turn it into this

The Avatar 50% 499,998 / 999,996 (HP value was found on reddit.)

basically to add in a nice way to know how much health the boss has left, i think it would be a nice way to know how much damage is needed. say if you wiped at 1% of the avatar to continue my example you would of either of wiped at 1HP remaining meaning that RNG just didn't like you or a single missed attack hitting could of made it. or at 9999/10000 HP, which would mean more people need to hit more, or a death needs to be avoided.

tho thats me trying to explain how it could be helpful to the more serious masses on the raid scene (using a admittedly old boss as a example)
i imagen it would be a nice Quality of life patch for those on pc or on PS4


personally i find that info nice to know, and kinda nice to see go down.

but what do you guys think, good idea, bad idea. anyway to word it better then my poor attempt,

YES this i need this.

thatd be great.

I need this!
It also helps to know if the target become invulnerable or not during some phases.
Example: sometimes the target jumps/flies but .. they still take damage from DoTs so it is worth having them up.

*bump* lets get more peeps to see this

Honestly doubt it'll ever happen. They obscure information about damage on purpose, this would be a reversal of that policy.

I would love this too but that would make it too easy to parse dps with solid numbers and that's something SE has been very firm against. Percentages are still somewhat easy to figure out if you math it out but not as easy as seeing the actual number.

even so it would still be good to know, some people react better to knowing a definitive number to a percentile, but i can see where your coming from D:

but i know from seeing people's videos on reddit, youtube and twitch, it doesn't stop people on pc from having it added to there game, this is a way to at least balance both players, it isn't a full parcer to be implemented just a nice QOL that can have multiple purposes.

people can figure out there DPS from the % remaining on SSS and there was a time people wanted you to do that to say what your DPS would be. in terms they were able to parse there damage output with that

Sorry I disagree it's not needed.
It doesn't really add anything to the game.
You see the Bar go down that should be good enough.
I would almost like to see some bosses without bars at all so you have no clue how your doing or when a phase is going to change.

if you dont mind me asking, to explain your idea, a little. because all i imagine that would cause is a lot of annoyance and a very hostile (e.g. the whole skip soar crap that happened with Zurvan) type mentality. since without the bar or any hp value to help people or for that visual queue people wont get when a phase shift happens, and i beleave alot of people would majorly dislike that.
