I noticed that, now with the increased emphasis on healing skills and healing specialized classes, i need a more visually helpful UI more than ever.

This issue didn’t exist before because most, if not all skills did the healing themselves, or targeted whoever needed without my input, but now that healing requires a more active play style and actually aiming, It would be tremendously helpful to have a way to display Friendly players HP Bar right above their heads at all times, not only when you hover your mouse over.

Soaring devastation, Divine intervention; aimed druid healing skills, targeted symbols and consecrations, Envoy of exuberance, Ventrari Tablet heals and barriers, they all would receive a great indirect buff if i was able to see where the damaged allies are in the battlefield and rapidly use my stuff to protect them, instead of guessing who is who looking at the hp portraits and then finding them in the chaos.

I’d like to see a teammate at 50% hp right in the battlefield, without looking at the party bars at the left corner, and knowing right there that using my soaring devastation and landing on him is the best course of action intuitively, instead of losing 2-3 seconds figuring out where or who is this damaged person.
