I think it would be nice if they put Morale boost or Death Penalty in the character's bar on the party menu. Often times when vanquishing, after two or more deaths, I'm wondering how my henchmen are doing specifically because I can just look at a hero window and it shows the DP or Morale in the area with enchantments/conditions/hexes/etc. However, it is not possible to open such a window for henchmen, so voila, my potential solution to this problem:

(Bare with my terrible ASCII art

)
As of now it appears as something like this:
.________________________________
|W/E20 Character Name...................|
.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯� �¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

But I think it would be interesting if it was displayed as something like this:
.________________________________
|W/E20 Character Name............+10%|
.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯� �¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
OR
.________________________________
|W/E20 Character Name............-60%|
.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯� �¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Y/N?

I imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to implement, but hey, what do I know?

Yah I would like that as well. I'm always wondering what my hench dp's are at since they are usually the ones that die when I'm vanquishing. Adding the moral boost or dp to the name bar is a great idea.

/signed. The area where you put the numbers would be the place where hex, enchantment, and condition indicators go, but I don't know where else you would put that piece of data. I want it for the same reason you do: I have no clue how my henchmen are doing with morale.

Just fit it in is my idea. I mean assuming you had some enchantments, your bar might then appear as something like this (enchantments represented as ^):
.________________________________
|W/E20 Character Name.........+10%.^|
.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

And if you had an enchantment and a hex, it could possibly appear like this (hexes represented as v):
.________________________________
|W/E20 Character Name......+10%.v.^|
.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

And of course, the death penalty/morale and hex and enchantment indicator arrows would have priority over the character name in the Party Menu, so if someone was using a squished party menu it could appear something like:
.___________________________
|W/E20 Character Na..+10%.v.^|
.¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Id like for them to implement it on the party menu as well as when you select/attack a team mate/opponent...its always nice when you're trying to DP out an ignorant team...spread the 60%s

But make it an option, I don't want that junk on bars in pvp

I think it can help a lot for HA pugs w/out vent or arenas and also be a bit helping for GvG. So it is gd:P

added at edit:

And eh I think it shouldn't be visible for enemies, cause it's skill if you can see who is DPed for spikes, and I think that should stay:P

signed.. one of anets tiny fails from the begin on, they have ever overlooked....

It could be simple a black square with the numbers, a bit bluish if it's MB and a bit reddish if it is DP.

It would be a neat healp in many cases:
- Player lying about their DP...
- Allied parties' DP in Vizunah, Harvest Temple and AB...
- Henchmen...

Of course, in PvP you won't see enemy partie's DP, or they would go for you directly.
