Seems middle of the road to me, decent values (although having only just started Vet levels I could be wrong) though.

Just use the six trait sets, a mix of two of them and you are laughing.
(hopefully when we can craft jewellery we can use the six trait set on those as well, allowing us two full set and two pieces from a third)

I guess u missed my point because i agree with you. The 3 trait sets are very good & 5/6 trait sets great, often 3 mixes of 3 trait sets is best i agree ... the 8/9 trait are no better so whats the point in researching forever, Yes, i am whining because i kept 3 crafting skill research slots maxed from from day 1, instead of playing. Most of my research is done so i have time to play now. I laugh about it now and not upset anymore. i just think its a shame nothing has been released in 8/9 trait that people would be die'ng for.

That would be boring and counter-intuitive to the diversity ZOS is trying to promote in combat. Twice-Born is well-rounded overall with lots of potential opportunity for players to customize it to fit their respective builds. For the min-maxers maybe this isn't the ideal choice for you, but who cares? Other options exist and I think this is a fun and inventive addition (provided it works).
A friend is excited about trying a combo if Thief and Shadow for his NB DPS.
I can see how a Atronach/Ritual combo might be good for a healer, and a Lord/Lady for a tank.
It will be interesting to see what combinations people come up with.

And how Health\Magicka\Stamina bonuses going to compensate weapon damage, healing power,regen or spell crit your losing by wearing this nonsense ?
You lose more crit by switching your aether or any other crafted crit gear for that 2 mundus.

My point when i started this thread. I just can't see any REALY benefit of this 9 trait to even a 3 trait.

Well, If you have it in combinatrion with another set, and only take Twice born set up to four pieces, then it could really boost your stats, especially with Nirnhoned Trait.
Not saying it's enough, what with you loosing out on boosts to damage/healing/etc, but I am playing Devils advocate.

Arena set would do the same?
Just Nirnhoned is a pita to obtain and then research 9 trait sets should be a kittens whisker above the rest imo
The 2-4 bonuses are too bland. What they could've done was add two bonuses to each rank, eg. +health/+health regen, +stam/regen, +mag/regen. Maybe about 65% in strength of what they usually are.
