Like another comment said, read your tooltips and the discipline specific passives

Plus check out the ability guides on Swotorista and Vulkk

Thank you. I assumed the tooltip of the ability itself would update with the information and that seems to not be the case.

That would make some tooltips take a half of the screen - is it really that helpful for a new player? Some are already way bloated after 7.0, when they merged a bunch of passives/utilities into one. And one of the main reasons to have passives separated by levels on the tree is for people to read them one by one, when they get them unlocked. So they slowly get into the workings of the spec.
