[Donners]

<DIV>Which did you choose? Wonder if to get : More total HP , More total Mana , 5 in combat mana reg , in combat HP reg.</DIV>

Race traits are not being affected by LU13, class traits are. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Don't be confused by the patch notes - all traits (race, class, mastery, etc) are being /reset, but the only ones actually changing are the class traits.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Wargod1968 on <span class=date_text>09-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:55 PM</span>

<P>Oops!  Heh heh.. thanks for clarifying.. </P> <P>The +% to HP and POWER are permanant, always on.</P> <P>Most of the +regen to HP and Power are temporary, last about  3 minutes with a cooldown of about 30 min, and thus, are less frequently available.</P> <P>Personally, I'd go for +% on all the time rather than increased regen available only one minute ouf of three.  Now, mind you, I haven't been on since LU13 went up, so if they changed the cooldown to be shorter, it might be worth a look.</P> <P> </P> <P><img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>

I did all cold resistance, crushing resistance and HP increases.

I'm wondering because that's what I chose because I thought it was a permanent thing! [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]....it didn't say anything about being temporary. Could you give evidence of this please?? (I would've picked the % to HP if I knew they were temporary....how the hell are we supposed to know that...) Thanks. <div></div>

Thanks.<BR> <BR> <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE><BR> <DIV>It was common knowledge here on the forums, particularly when in the early days after release when trait descriptions were rather lousy and scant of mechanics, many people cried foul to the devs when they got abilities that were of limited utility. If you have the ability already, simply find the hotkey under your Knowledge book (always-on auto-abilities do not get a hotkey so far as I am aware), drag it out, and click on it. You'll see the refresh.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One of the more common (but increasingly out of date) past sources of trait info is here:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://eq2.primagames.com/pdfs/traits.pdf" target=_blank>http://eq2.primagames.com/pdfs/traits.pdf</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Things like the damage procs (such as Human's Domination) also have this sort of limited usefulness.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pick wisely, ask questions, and if the description isn't explicit about duration or permanancy, investigate.</DIV>

The traits you pick that are either +hps, + mana, +hp regen, or +mana regen are permanant and the regens are both in and out of combat. I picked + hps both times, but not sure if that was the best option or not.   I would think it depends on what you want the most.  If you spend most of your time soloing for exp, you may be best off with +power regen, as it will allow you to do more damage in combat, but you wont live as long either so who knows <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.   If you want to be a main tank type for groups on a regular basis, I think the +hps would be the best, but maybe the +hp regen would be handy too.

AHhhhhhh I get it hehe. Thanks you two for the info...I actually didn't do the racial traits one then I guess. I did for my zerker before the respec, and yeah it was a like 3 min buff with a +2 sta and increase out of combat health regen by xx amount, and yeah it had (I think) a 30 min reuse timer.  Heh, I didn't pick it this time. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

I respec'ed and chose the mana regen option instead.  This makes a huge difference to my downtime and allows me to still get a few arts in once i run out of power in a fight.  Power regen is definitely more useful for duo'ing/soloing than max hps. I however being a Ratonga am never going to be chosen for the cool kids dodgeball team for having the most hps anyway <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  So if you spend most of your time grouping as the Main tank, max hps may be more useful.
