Powerful/Precision Hookset tooltip is needlessly confusing

[LlenCoram]

Hello everyone. The purpose of this post is to try and bring to the dev's attentions what I think is just a small quality of life thing.

The tooltip for powerful/precision hookset actions read "Removes the Inefficient Hooking status." I'm sure I'm not the only puller who was confused on using the hookset actions and seeing the debuff still ticking away. It didn't take long for me to realise that the actions simply negated the effects of the debuff for that one pull, however I feel like this should be more clear from the start. It would be as simple as changing the wording to read something like "Ignores the effects of Inefficient Hooking status until your next cast" or something similar. I'm told this is closer to what the Japanese text reads as.

Just a small quality of life issue I thought deserved some attention.

I agree, I had no idea how these worked at first...

For skill "Patience":
Japanese text : Fishing success rate will decrease by **%
English text : Hooking efficiency is reduced by **%

Hooking efficiency ... ?

Hooking efficiency ... ?

I can only assume it's because the lv 1 ability to reel in fish is called "Hook" D:

You can hook the fish, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll catch it.

Skill text sometimes appears like high school and college papers that students submit. Filled with unnecessarily complex or misleading words to sound better than it really is. Instead of just getting to the point or keeping things interesting and understandable with "Successful gathering rate is lowered by X", it turns into "Actions applied by this ability will negatively impact your likelihood to redeem rewards of the action by X". Not quite that bad obviously, but just stick to simple lol. Vague or unnecessary word usage is only applicable when teasing something, not actually describing it.

This was brought to our attention shortly before our deadline, and we managed to sneak in a revision for 3.06. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you Corvinoobus! Still seeing the debuff active I was concerned the skill wasnt applying as it still felt like I was loosing fish at the debuffed rate.
I was also confused by them having the same description, altho suspect is means its for different fish?

Fantastic, thank you!

I also had to take to google to even figure out that the way to use this ability was to use it in place of Hook. I kept trying to click it while fishing to remove the inefficient hooking (it was lit up). Indeed confusing.
