Suggestion: update and make mandatory Hall of novice tutorial

[Big_Oof]

On the topic of hall of the novice, I've noticed that when it comes to the role I play (healer), there's a huge discrepancy between what the hall leads you to believe you'll be doing versus what you'll actually be doing. Other than the generally useful stuff, like dodging aoe indicators, it prompts you to keep your allies alive. By spamming gcd heals. Surely, those are the only ones that are available at lvl15. But that is SO not how the game seems to work for healers later on, and I'm saying this as I've only just now reached Heavensward myself, let alone endgame. I imagine the contrast is even more stark. So what I'm saying is, even if you do hall of the novice, which is totally not a given, it doesn't REALLY prepare you for much as it currently is. Especially considering how frowned upon sitting there spamming gcd heals is. I don't know if this is an issue other roles face as well but it's definitely very noticeable in mine.

It's like that for all roles. The lessons tell you that damaging from the rear deals more damage, without informing you that this is only for a select few attacks that are present only for melee DPS. It tells tanks to pull only the minimum amount possible despite mass pulling being viable from the first dungeon (I don't expect a new tank to pull everything, but they should know that it's possible). It teaches DPS to not even think about attacking something other than what the tank (who will exclusively use single target attacks during the lessons) is attacking, which dissuades AoE use.

I see these as somewhat common points of confusion in the novice network. Those new players willing to learn will pay attention to these things and try to apply them, not realizing that it's only half-advice.
