What to study

The wheel's tooltip pattern in full: hovering an ability opens a card that states damage, cooldown, stagger weight and the status it applies (here Sundered) plus a Combos-with tag, all while the paused boss, its health bar and the target's Vulnerable/Resistant lines stay visible behind the ring. The player therefore compares an ability's numbers against the target's resistances without leaving the wheel. Frame at about 2:18 (138s) in the Blighted Dragon Trailer (Steam).
