I would like "Killer" traits return

Actually, you had to be high on the hate list rather than nearly non-existent. Dragoons had the problem of intimidating themselves or being intimidated by their Wyvern when they wore Crimson armor because of it giving you Dragon Affinity basically, so it's not targeted, just have to be in it's presence. Being targeted gave a higher chance.

That must have changed in the last 3 years as I was subscribed until early 2011 and the only way to activate a killer effect was to be the actual target, not high on the enmity list. Though if I recall the Killer effect also originated as a small haste/damage buff that was later changed to an intimidation for fear of unbalancing DPS jobs at high levels. If it's the FFXI rendition of Killer effects I don't see it being added or useful in the instance it is.

It was, it came around the same time they boosted up the Circle effects to be a lot more useful since it made a lot more sense to do so.
