Heavensward class Traits

[Onikimaru]

Yeah it would have been nice to get some cool new traits. Even if they had less of an impact than those of 2.0. It gives a sense of character development and achievement, that and GL IV would have been totally awesome!.

[Greven]

They for sure will fix some of the older traits (Proshell and tanks traits especially) but many new skills were added, guess they are keeping the traits for 4.0 as you can't give new active skills every new expansion or it'd be a big mess.
Proshell will be changed to something else, removed or given to the other healers as well. Who knows.

I feel that we need more passive abilities.

I still doubt the validity of the "no new traits". Many of the "journalist's" who have been giving out info have never played an mmo before.
Translation between "ability & traits" is probably really confusing, and unclear.
And a lot of stuff is still locked for the people with beta access, so there is no telling what will be in the final game.
It would seem silly for them to abandon traits all of a sudden.

The translation between new traits and abilities could be unclear but the fact that they outwardly stated there was going to be no new traits after level 51 in the interview was pretty straight forward. It isn't confused with abilities because we know that we are getting abilities after 51.

I'm impartial to it either way of doesn't matter to me one bit.
