Right now, there are health and morale chart when one press the default key "O".

I just thought, why not? Energy chart can help monitor how well a team manage their energy, or manage opponent team's energy. Maybe even an andrenline chart! It is even possible for team energy battery to know when are they needed more, maybe even have warrior in PvE waiting for team's energy regen.

It would be a minor add-on, but would defintely be better than no energy chart.

can u imagine what these charts would look like? at first I liked the idea, then I thought how I used my energy. Typically, I have a big dip in the initial encounter, then with good (hopefully) management it'll start to rise until my next onslaught where it dips again. Unlike health, this chart would be spiking and diping all over the place (unless ur a sac necro in which case ur health bar is crazy too).

And how to keep track of adrenaline? Track the whole team's regardless of their class, or just track warrior-profs whom, for the moment, are the only ones to benefit from adrenaline? It would be interesting to see how much adrenaline you rack up as a ranger pyro spammer though. And the adrenaline chart would have the same roller coaster effect as energy I think.

Someone also argumented in another thread (maby even another forum) that seeing you opponents energy usage wouldn't be that good. PvP players would like to keep some energy related things as a secret, I think. And I really don't see any point in an adrenaline chart. How would it benefit anyone? A players adrenaline is his alone and no one else can affect it or use it.

The signal to noise ratio in an energy chart would be laughably low.

Not to mention warrior and ranger heavy builds have a lot less energy, so I can imagine that it would look very different from say, a mesmer with enegry management skills or an ele for obvious reasons, and any comparison in energy between the two teams kinda becomes pointless.

This would have been funny in the haydays of Energy Drain {e}, but still pointless.
