The first glance of the combo

[Powercow]

I'm confused about another thing... Why do Traits have a recast time (in most cases of 5 seconds...) I thought traits were passive and always active...?

Probably just an error when they made the tables. The 5 second thing was copy+pasted onto them. I've noticed a few things that seem like errors actually, like Conjurer traits aren't listed as "Exclusive" when they said all traits would be, and only the Con ones are like this.

Yea and Piercing Arrow being a trait. There are some mistakes from the translation team.

Do you know if a trait fades after being used or if only a few traits can be active at any given time?

I just hope it doesn't turn into a weapon skill spamfest, especially on that moogle fight. I mean you can sleep the moogles now, hopefully people will pay attention to what's going on in all battles now.

it is clearly a wep skill spam fest lol, the different is the TP or you can call it rage system and the required for bonus to active, can call this a upgrade of wep skill spam fest

I just want battle to be more coesive I guess I can say... it's that when you have the AoE stuff going on, I can't see a thing as a mage and don't know what's going on besides the health bars lol.

I would think that the last skill in the chain would be reduced seeing it's 3000tp to use. The others would be normal TP use. That just makes more sense I guess

that already got answer, as combo only required the first TP move, the rest wont cost any and that also mean can use other skill separate w/o combo bonus (already foreseen this before patch note)

[Dreadnought]

the melee ones look awesome and cant wait to try.
the mage ones look boring and dont effect recast time which to me = excessively slow nuking. THMS might be standing around an awful lot during boss fights.

most spells have an 3-8 sec cool down followed by an 4 or 5 combo's they can do how does = standing around waiting when you can rotate those spells. Also pgl seems like they get a lot of increase dmg bonus ones.
