Summary0006705: Unopened inventory/skill bar tooltips could be more helpful.
DescriptionThe text:

  Fireball 2 - Details In Inventory (X, Z, and K for inventories)

uses many more characters and is less helpful than:

  Fireball 2 - Mana 25, Damage 47.2 fire, DPS 188.9, DPM 1.9

Usually, that's the information I want to see, instead of the instructions. If the descriptive and flavor text were left of, and the details shown in a compressed, single line form for the tooltip, it would be much more useful.

It could even be an option if you think starting players would be confused as to how to find the extended information.

That's true, as an option we could turn it that way. The problem is indeed new players -- giving them any information made them think that was all the information, and so they never opened the inventory at all.
