Class Trait Information

[Belial]

Now I know we've been given a good list for the new abilities & actions for each class which gives us an understanding of how they will work.

However, I would think Traits will end up playing a great role in this as well, and I was wondering if we are going to receive any information about class/job traits prior to patch notes and/or patch day?

i don't know. Maybe we could have infos, like the class actions

I thought this thread was someone calling attention to a new lodestone update and got a raging anticiperection but now that dream is shattered.

That's what I'm hoping for, would like a Dev to chime in and throw some info our way. Even if it's a "No, you only get to see them on patch day." Then hey, at least I know. I'm very curious about the traits though since we're going to have a few of 'em, and I don't presume they'll be the same as before.

Haha, sorry to mislead. I just have not seen anyone request the information & with patch day fast approaching I was curious if we would get this separately, with patch notes, or not at all.

It's scurry, I was biting into a deep-fried lalafell leg earlier thinking the same question.

I wonder if the in-game descriptions of traits will indicate how it impacts different abilities. Or if abilities will indicate the combo requirement, combo effect, or traits that impact it.


There seems to be five job abilities/magic, but will there be job traits?

This probably does not matter if class traits are not cross class.

Yea, I was curious as to if they will be equipable or not, as some traits create effects from certain WS/Abilities, and in some scenarios these may not be desired effects. But traits are class exclusive, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to add or remove them. We do however get I believe 11 traits per class, so I'm curious as to how they will change traits, or what they will add to each class. I know in XI I picked up certain classes just for the traits available to them. Not like it matters since I'll have all DoWs at 50, but still.

This thread has gotten me excited thinking about it. I realize the with-holding of 11 traits for 7 classes (possibly 77 traits?) makes me unhealthy curious.

Since the traits aren't cross class, mostly curious on Gladiator, Marauder, and Conjurer traits.

[Belial]

Yea, the traits will really make-or-break my main class choice. I have my fingers crossed for a MRD Double Attack trait.

Well just one more week and we´ll know wich traits they offer for every class, at this point its ok if i dont get that info...

[Jennestia]
