Traits

Been a few question about traits, so I thought I would post an example of a what a trait does.



Trait : Defected blows

Type : Class  ( traits are divided up into 4 sections "class" "race" "virtue" and "legendary")

Description:

"You regenerate some of your power whenever you block an incoming attack, and your block response last longer"

Adds 3.0 to block response modifier"





Now this trait is really cool because I have a skill that is only able to be used when I block an attack. So When i see this trait animation go off I know I get to use my  Shield swipe as well as another skill that is only able to be used after a successful shield swipe, and that is the skill Bash(sheoild stun, im a freak for shield stun , hehe).



The Trait itself sets off a chain reaction, giving me more chance to block as well as more chances to use 2 skills that are only enable when blocking an attack. This is really different from just spamming the same skills since only some skills can be used after success of something else. They're many trait to collect and for a perfectionist it will drive insane to try and collect the all.



Hope this help some of the question, i haven't been this die hard since lineage 2 CB ^^ lol

The trait Deadly Strikes (not sure if correct name) adds 25% to a critical hit chance when using a group of champion abilities.

Think the traits can also be considered perma buffs as well

I must say, I really like the trait system... You get them for grinding certain creatures (grind spiders, you get a trait that gives you some more poison resist, and 2 other things), exploring certain places (locating ruins and such), and questing (completing a number of quests in a given area). Using abilities a lot, so on and so forth.



I also like the titles, you get titles that indicate that you have never died and such. Doesn't penalise you for dying, rewards you for living.
