There is an off option... Just saying.



No shit Sherlock. But some people like knowing how much time is left on a cool down timer...

They need to be adjustable so that a player can select the amount of info, etc. . . . Then they would be almost perfect.

Should add one more option to the Tooltip Delay dropdown list: Show only Name and Re-cast time.


Ie. Purge V, 1:12 remaining.


Like it used to be... And in the case of no re-cast timer than just a name, also like it used to be.

I agree. I find the new ones handy for new classes I've not played before. However, for my main classes I already know what everything does.

I agree,but would it hurt to have an option to not view tool tips for qbars?? I mean the way I set up my qbars and have for years,one above each other,
the tooltips blocks my view and distracts me in a fight. We have to be fast and looking at what thing were hittin next in a fight,not lookin at
a tooltip. Every where else is fine,but I dont like it on my qbars...



This. I have my toolbars (3 of them) stacked one on top of each other about 1/4" apart on the bottom right of the screen. I would love a 4th bar if it were possible. I have so many icons I want visible on most of my characters that every slot is full - and I don't like rolling to other rows on each bar because I sometimes roll the wrong way back and I am dead. The tooptips are wonderfully informative, but they cover up a huge chunk of those icons whenever I hover over a button. As well I have my target window over top of those bars so I never have to look more than a few inches away from my toolbars to see the health status of my enemy or me. That is also obscured by the tooltips.

Its distracting and it often means I can't see a particular key ability has refreshed (say Purge or Charge). I have died at least once solely due to the tooltip covering up the fact that my insta heal had refreshed I believe. The fight was very close and it likely would have made the difference. Not a big deal but annoying

I would like the option to only display tooltips on shortcut bars if I click a combo say Shift+Right Click, or only while I hold down a key plus hover, preferably one I can set in keyboard settings. Better yet, as I said above, give us a new window we can put wherever we want on the screen, and all hovered tooltip info appears there instead of by the mouse pointer. That way I can stick it in a corner somewhere, make it mostly transparent and still access the data at a glance by hovering over something.

I am not opposed to changes or improvements to the UI, its just that this is not working well for me at all. Some other solution is needed.
