    Title:
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details: The Show Player Health Bar option is ignored unless the Show Player Nameplate option is also enabled.
    Steps to Reproduce: Open Options, go to Interface section. Enable Show Player Health Bar without enabling Show Player Nameplate. Not that the health bar is not shown. Enable Show Player Nameplate. Notice both are now shown.

    Firstly I'd suggest reconsidering this design, as I'm sure players are well aware of their own name, but might want a representation of their health in the centre of the screen where it is easy to see during combat. Additionally the nameplate blocks view of MOBs health bar, making some combat decisions difficult. Reversing the dependency makes more sense.

    Secondly, if it stays as it is, then the interface design/tooltip should be changed to make it clear that the health bar entry is dependent on the nameplate entry.
