'Defenders' TA (prefix): -5% shield usage, per Archers, Ogiers, Bloodknives, Blademasters, Headsmans, Dashain


Modify 'Compel' weave from Spirit/Fire to Spirit/(Air or Earth) ... (lore vs balance discussion) I seem to recall spirit and fire being lore compliant for use of the weaker compulsion weave compel (as used by Liandrin, for eg), will have to look that side of it up, or perhaps someone might know offhand ... but the current weave focus allocations don't flow per other weave paths. The downstream defensive weaves (block primary) follow a different path of progression through the weave elements.
focus 1 ... Ward (Spirit)
focus 2 ... Compel (Spirit, Fire)
focus 3 ... Power Shield (Spirit, Air, Earth)
focus 4 ... Refresh (Spirit, Air, Earth, Water)
There is 'Firestorm' (Fire, Air, Earth, Water) in there just to throw a bit of a curve ball, but it has a block component that drops spirit completely, so is again out of sync ... it's a bit of a hybrid though with it's damage components, so I didn't include in the spirit/shield progression.
I think this becomes a bit of a balance issue directly during the level 10-30'ish range, and makes focus choices a bit difficult for the novice channeller ... and indirectly at the higher levels, as there are paths on the damage lines that tend to follow a logical progression without wastage points in unused weave foci ... (eg boil > cyclone > lightning storm ... drown, lightning strike, lightning storm ... boil, lava flow, firestorm/earthquake ... drown, tsunami, earthquake) there are others of course, and a couple of the related chains that kind of diverge, but the defensive channellers don't have the unbroken progression options that damagers have.

Sell Estate, per sell business. If you need to move, you need to move ... can be costly, selling off an established home, but if you don't need to be tied down to a particular wilderness area any more, then it's time to pack up and move on

Be nice if the cache flag on items held after the item is used, but that's a convenience, one of those 'that'd be nice' type of thingos... can always drop the item in the vault and pull it out again (if you have room!)

It actually used to be that way until a version or 2 back. People got annoyed by it, but I kinda miss it too. Perhaps it will come back as a preference you can set or something.
