Any new way to have a selected enemy better marked?

Hey boys and girls,

I have been playing PWI for a while now, but I guess this idea was never posted before. It is also my first contribution here.

You see, when you select a friendly unit, yourself, or a foe on the field, a little circle appears. It's PWI 101, right?
That said, this circle under the unit is not very practical when you have to select a mob for example in this cursed swamp of the wraith, because they are half-immerged.

and so, my veno not only had to deal with with the issue of her ice gorilla and little buzz buzz bug bailing out of the sudden while fighting mobs walking or sitting in the water (you would go 'halt, why the sawfly here? I'd reply that you got to train it too, but I digress)... but also that you could end unsure that you did mark the mob for further utter rampage.

Let me explain. You are ready to fight, though are you certain you chose the right enemy before proceeding?

As I was not certain I selected the enemy, I further clicked, making me approach the mob. and to my horror in some cases it already is the case, and so I get a little cheapshot from:

- 'when a mad scientist creates a monster that are crosses between King Leonidas from 300/a very ugly, buff, unshaven Solid Snake, and Goro' (Resentful Heathen)

and those

- 'Headless Knights that are pricks because they AOE your face' (Acephalid Death Knight)

among others.

I know about TAB, but I guess it does not solve all. Would an alternative way of having a mob marked than this little circle be possible?
A few examples: monster flashing softly, monster colored in hues that are not deadly, but easy enough to show they are aimed at, etc.

I await your feedback. Thanks!

    theres a simple and easy solution to fix that. you see that little button by your hp on the HUD? yeah, if you click that, you see an hp bar over your head, as well as over the head of someone you have selected
    Dark for fear of failure
    An inner gloom as wide as an eye of fermenting
    Roiling hate
    Death grip in my veins
    Unveiling rancid petals
    Flowering fourth foul nectar
    Space between a blink and a tear
    Death blooms
