Spell tooltips in retail - Where are they?

Guides New/Returning Player Questions & Guides

Hello,

I’m a returning player and have been mostly playing classic the last months. Retail is new to me and there are a lot of spells/abilities which I’m not familiar with. They also seem to be more advanced than classic spells/abilities and I constantly have to read about them and it’s getting inconvenient to open the spell book all the time.

I’m trying out a demon hunter now and I’m in the state where I’m trying to set up my key binding. In classic wow I would and been mouse clicking at this stage since the tooltip is shown by default and I can quickly remind myself about the spell by just hoover with the pointer. Pretty good for new/returning players if you ask me.

Anyway, is there a show tooltip option? #showtooltip in macros doesn’t work.

Best regards

Hm. Tooltips do show for me. You must have them turned off - by an addon or a setting?

Try the command

/console UberTooltips 1

followed by a

/reload

and see if that helps

Where in Interface?

I looked when I replied earlier, couldn’t find it.

The command “/console UberTooltips 1” worked! Reload was not needed.

Thank you!

Yeah, I think it was, but they removed a LOT of options in … I want to say start of Legion? - on the basis that they were too confusing.

Like “/console UberTooltips 1” is intuitive and not confusing?? :stuck_out_tongue:
