The tooltips in this game are bad. The summaries for skills, traits and items are often inaccurate or ambiguous. Take one of the engineer’s traits for example: its tooltip reads “explosives cause bleeding.” Cool, but how many things explode when using the engineer? Lots. How many things cause bleeding when they explode (after picking aforementioned trait)? Not lots. I wish I could be more specific, but by the very nature of this issue, that’s the best I can do.

I think ANet would do good to have ONE person that hand-tests all content, formulating new and improved summaries. One person, that way the summary style of GW2 tooltips are uniform, predictable and (above all) accurate.

Explosives would be just that, bombs, grenades, and the like. It may also mean turret explosions but the obvious is the former two.
