I don’t understand picking traits

[dickolasッ]

When the game tells me “choosing this trait will exclude *other trait(s)” does that mean I am replacing previous traits that are currently active? Or does it mean the pool of available traits is now less polluted?
Thanks

Hi,

as an example: Dedication has two Branches.
In case of the Swordsman
Dedication - Health
Dedication - Regeneration
If you now pick Health I, Regeneration I gets removed for this current Trait Tier, but will show up on the next.
So you will have then Health II and Regeneration II, where you can choose again.

I hope i got your question right.

if you right click the trait you can see the options, if you you want multiple from one category you can use the bottom potions.
some stuff like the weapon ones i always take multiple on most chars.

I believe youre right, but the way I read their verbiage it makes me feel like I'm throwing away a perk I already paid for.

I'm not fully clear on it but I thank you for the response.

That's definitely not a thing. You're only losing possibilities, and the Potion of Memory means that 8 times per run you can ignore even that loss if you go out of your way to prepare for it.

Ok, the Traits share all the same name, like "Dedication 1".
If you pick one you will never see another dedication 1, but you can use the pot that saves a trait for later, if you reroll now the game favors that trait and you usually see 3-4 to choose, now you can lock those you want and pick them the next level ups.
That way you can stack up lots of defensive or attack traits.

These traits have more than one type A, B, C etc and you can only take 1 per tier/level of the trait.
For example each level of swordsman Proficient Strike Trait comes in these two forms A: Dexterity (melee attack speed and crit chance) and B: Reach (melee +range). You can only take one of them at level/rank I as the next time the trait appears its be rank II instead.
