Hall of the Novice Tank and DoW DPS hands missing?(should I report this as a bug?)

Since Exercise #1: Avoid Area of Effect Attacks is same for all three roles, they probably thought that you'd get the idea on first completion.

But not really sure why they tied gloves to it then.

you're right it is pretty much the same, I think they should have tied the gloves to another Exercise
