Possible to Disable the Actionbar Skill Tooltips?

Hi, Im new to the forums, nice to meet you all!

I was wondering if it was possible to disable or turn off
the tooltips that popup when you hover over a skill in your
actionbar/mainbar? It is a little frustrating to always see
a wall of text when I know what skills I placed there and don't
need the extra clutter. :)

I hope there is a solution! I've searched a bit on google and looked
through some pages on the forums, unfortunately I cant find
anything regarding this topic... :(

Do Want this option. Probably not until 2.0's UI rehaul though I imagine :\

That option would be great to have.

ya sorry it is currently not possible

Like! I agree and would like this to be available! Maybe soon. ;D

This has been bothering me as well. I would really like to remove it because of 2 reasons, 1 the explanations take place, 2 I know by now what my skills do and i dont need it explained every time I use it.

i've noticed that when i use the number keys on my keyboard to select a skill, it resets my mouse to hovering over the skill sometimes. This is not good when i use my mouse to select the target i heal. so hopefully they do away with this.

I agree with the OP.

agree op
i have suggested this in the past but to no avail yet.
tooltips are in the most cumbersome place possible.

please se,please se, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee SE!! remove tooltips or at the verty least make them optional to satisfy anyones possible likes/dislikes.

one final :PLEASE SE!!! in case it helps ;;

Yes i do want an option to disable it. Lol its a pain that the text box covers my poor lalafell everytime i fight. ; ;

i'd like to be able to disable tooltips, but i think it's important not to forget to continue displaying the actual ability name in a manner that's not obstructive. as mentioned above, part of the reason people want to remove tooltips is because it's highly obstructing to your actual character. my favored UI placement has my tooltips blocking my character and i'm a hyur. i couldn't imagine what it'd be like to be lalafell.

so i think it's important just to point out that removing the tooltip entirely and just leaving the ability name isn't enough: if it's to be made optional, please make sure the name isn't obstructing too.

i should also point out that a great deal of icons look very similar to each other so if removing the entire tooltip means removing the name too, differentiation would become very difficult. so please, either don't go that route or at least give three options (full tooltip description, name description, no description).

Now that you mention it... I liked X-2's system of showing used skills above the players' heads.

I also would like to see an option that allows you too still see a tooltip after ~5(?) secs, in case I forgot what it means without opening the menu.
