More Traits not Actions for next expansion.

[ardrej]

I say 3 traits 2 actions (at 65 and at 70) would be the way to go

Steel cyclone already isn't affected by the damage penalty.

That's right, I wrote that post at like 1 in the morning, so I wasn't exactly fully conscious! But the rest of my post still stands as to the sort of traits I personally want to see.

If the traits are interesting, then sure. If they're just going to unnecessarily buff or rebalance the relative values of particular abilities, then I've equally little interest. I just want to see current and any new abilities actually able to fulfill more than a intermediate function (Power Surge->Jump), and for our traits to actually have a significant effect on gameplay outside of just the duration extensions or procs on particular skills.

Just one thing to keep in mind though: the more things you're adding with the next expansion that seem crucial, the shittier everything up to level 61-70 is going to feel in those regards, since you've shown that those things are in fact fitting and doable. Some of them may be better done in class reworks than new additions, especially where core to identity (e.g. Shield Swipe refreshes via "Enhanced Bulwark" etc.).

I would like to see more traits added to enhance new abilities. I think I saw in a video or something on YouTube if I can find it I will post it.But anyways I heard of speculation that if they did add new skills each class will have branching skill line. I wonder how that will work. Are they adding two diff play styles to each class? Anyways on topic we need more traits pls

Adding new actions in the next expansion would be the wrong choice, especially since we're at ability bloat level 8.

It would be so much better to have a WoW talent tree system or FFXI's merit points for a combination of job traits and ways to augment our already existing actions.

Adding a trait for Foresight on WAR would be really beneficial as well. It doesn't mitigate a lot, but if they would add a % of Parry when activated, would really make the WAR more tanky as an MT. It would probably make sense to give Enhanced Forsight 15% or 20% Parry on top of the 20% physical defense already added to the original ability.

Does WAR have an ability that allows them to do more damage the more HP they have?
I still only have WAR at 51.

We'll probably get more actions. Heads will roll if my BLM doesn't get Thunder 4. No fucking excuse.

Nope. AFAIK the only ability that sorta scales off current HP is spirits within (paladin).

[MPNZ]

Yes please! And they need to find ways to eliminate some of the clutter before it becomes impossible for players to use the crossbar control scheme.

First of all, change their names into Firaga, Thundaga etc, then we can talk!

Second of all, screw actions! 4 chain comboses would kill them AoE evading! "MUST HIT GCD"
Traits seems to be reasonable choice.
Maybe some kind of one ultimate so we could have such.
(Ok, i spoke about DRK, Living Dead is not cool at all ;__; lvl 70 ultimate must be and must be better)
