The decoration around bosses health bar takes too much space

I find the decoration around bosses health bar just awful. When I'm on the bottom part of the screen and the boss on top, that covers half of the boss. There should be only the health bar and as thin as possible.

Same for the group list decoration. It was just fine as it was before. Moreover, removing the mana/steam/concentration/rage bar from the group list for the other players in the group was a bad idea. It was very helpful seeing if they are fighting or not when you're not close the them. Finding out they fight only based on their health bar is not too helpful, sometimes, especially if they are mages, is a bit too late...

 

I've actually got a solution for this. If BP would just implement:

The center "nav" bar at the top is really not used much. If you could either autohide it, or make it toggle with a key (like the group on the right does), then the bosses health bar could be moved up to that area.

Since you can't click on the bosses bar (or even point at it) since you have to be pointing at "creatures" to get that bar to show up, moving it up would put it out of the way.

Another suggestion: It would be nice if the underlying icons for special abilities was to the right of the health bar, instead of below.

I'd like to see the menu bar either autohide or toggle off/on so that I can stop clicking on it in battle accidentaly. Real frustrating when that happens as you can no longer see and then you have to look up and find your mouse to click on the right one again to turn the popup off.

The top menu bar is really not needed, as there are shortcut keys to everything there (or other buttons on the screen).

 

The old HP bars were much better

Nice idea. Also, HUD locking (+ toggle) would probably solve the rest of what you said... long asked for by now, IDK when we'll get it.
It would also prevent some situations where you'd accidentally throw a skill out from your skill bar, when you were intending sth. else.

 

Yes, you can actually see gorga in that video. Make a video now and gorga will be hiding under a big crappy decoration.
