    With a controller and the cross-hotbar, there's no real equivalent to a mouse/keyboard user's ability to "hover" the mouse over a hotbar skill. From the cross-hotbar, selecting a skill means using it. I think that's why it's missing the tooltips there.

    From the Actions & Traits window, you use the arrow buttons to select a skill and then another button for additional actions (X to use the skill, square to set it to your hotbar). That separates out selection from use, thus allowing the selection step to show you the tooltips. I'm trying to advance all the classes, so whenever I switch to one I haven't used in a while, I have to go back to the Actions & Traits window to re-familiarize myself with what each of the skills does.

My other lvl 50 classes i am very familiar with so no big deal but for whm me being clueless it would be nice to have the ability names displayed on the hotbar

    That's not a tooltip but "Help text" and could be turned on / off in the character configuration in the Crossbar section.
