tooltip clarity: direct damage, dot, physical damage, spell damage, etc.

this is getting terrible and as ZOS is all about new player friendly clarity can we get some ease of readability on tooltips.

for instance, physical covers more then just physical it covers poison and disease. spell damage covers all elements as well as magic and healing.

two things

-anything that does physical or is in that category can you *green* the damage type text for all passives, modifiers, CP trees, and skills where it shows up, so mighty would have green text in what damage it modifies and if something does poison disease physical or what have you it has green text over that text as well. same for magic with blue, and health for red etc. so if something says deals such and such shock damage the *shock* in the line of text would be blue.

further

-can you add an icon or text to the tool tip of all abilities defining them as a dot or a direct damage ability? some skills and spells seem to fit both category and its kind of tricky to tell what will be modifying what.

this would REALLY help to clear up a lot of confusion about what buffs what and what effects what, especially if your new.

    Yeah some of the tooltips could do with some work to clarify what they're actually doing.

    At the same time being an AoE...(and it's magic damage per tooltip)

    Can't imagine why people would be confused.

    ZoS needs a glossary in the help section of the game and on the forum to specify their interpretation (f*** that) implementation of these things. There is enough guesswork involved as is.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...
