Suggestion: update and make mandatory Hall of novice tutorial

I mean it's not really that dense.. Read tool tips -> single target does 200 damage, aoe does 90 damage -> basic math and understanding how shapes work -> use aoe when 3 targets or more are close enough to get hit, otherwise use single target. All the information we need is available as soon as we need it (sometimes before) and he fact that some people get as far as they do in the game without understanding something basic like 220+330+480 < (3+x)(120+140+120) is just mind boggling @@. Like, I thought it was common form to read a tooltip of a skill when you get it. Not doing so would be like going into a d&d session and casting fireball in an area full of your teammates and going "oopsie I didn't know it did radial damage!"

How much DPS potency is a single point of white or black mana worth on RDM? Also point me to where the tooltips show me that :P (You'd be surprised how this question isnt as simple as it first appears.) This helps you determine at which ranges of mana it is better to use which skills, for situations such as needing to move when u need to hard cast. (Not so much now that RDM has a new skill in ShB for this sort of thing, but there's exceptions) When you should still use manafication, and shouldnt, such as "is 55/55 too late?". (it wasnt last i checked, but maybe im wrong and its values are different now, which they probably are, now that RDM has scorch. But those values shouldnt change when you do/dont use manafication, despite its 5% dps increase change.)
Also the wording on sacred soil trips a lot of people up. Ive known a few people who thought it meant it reduced dmg by 90%, rather than by 10%.

EDIT: hit post limit for the day, so cant reply till tomorrow.

Understand the basics of the skills, do some practical testing, apply what you learned.

As someone who doesnt use ACT thats pretty hard to do, unless its a DRASTIC difference in damage. Otherwise its too hard to tell if its just rng, or if you're eyes are playing tricks on ya.
Again, I know what sacred soil says. Im just saying not all phrasing is the best it could be. (I forget which ability, but I think one of the tank ones almost came off as a double negative, and even SE felt the need to fix it, as it confused people. But since IDR which ability, I cant give ya a place to look.)
