I think it would be a good idea that when a character is weak with the health in the red, to add something visual like arch his back or something. many game has this and since pirate101 is mostly a visual it would be a good thing to add. I know that it would be a big update to add this on every companion and every enemies but I thought I'd send the idea out the any way ;)

Perhaps just a blinking health box if it gets too low? Although forgetting to keep track of such things results in a negative lesson to the player that the lesson is generally well learned and we learn really fast to keep an eye on such things.

A better idea would be if an outline around the portraits on the bottom of the battle board have a little color to show how low the player plus companions are from green when they are full health, to yellow when starting to lose health which coincide with the bar, to red when they are low on health. That way it would be easier to keep track of who needs healing.
