Even if it doesn't solve the PLD problem I'd like the idea of jobs having their own trait (currently only classes have traits). Be even better if they passed on their trait in the form of a slightly watered down version to their party; i.e. if PLD's ...IM A PLD? trait is -25% damage reduction everyone else in party might get a -10% damage reduction just from having a PLD in the party.

It'd also encourage people to not class stack since you only get one party trait per job i.e. having two PLDs is still -10% damage reduction not 20. Also yeah jobs not classes because jobs are supposedly supposed to be the preferred party class so bonuses to the party for using a job rather than just personal bonuses would be nice.
