1. Teachable patterns
I would like such a feature, but it would be a lot of work relative to the gain. It's a possibility in the future, though I have no plans to extend application of warpaint to other guilds through such a teaching mechanism.
2. Messaging and testing.
Don't get too focused on the messaging indicating exactly what is happening, I wanted to keep the messaging reasonably appropriate for barbarians as well, so you should pay attention to things other than the message (which I think a lot of you are doing, but wanted to say that before you engaged in a critical analysis of the words chosen and their etymology or something like that)
3. As I said at the meeting custom paints won't be available until I'm sure that everything is working well. It's looking pretty good so far, but there are some small things to revisit.
4. Yes there is a downtime between uses at full effect.
5. There is no apply careful command. Other things that you can do can affect the duration/quality of the warpaint. I like the apply careful though, maybe we'll implement something like that in the future.
6. Other types of warpaint are possible in the future, one that is only decorative and designed to last, might be a possibility.
Generally speaking, I don't intend to do a Warpaint II sort of thing until after I tackle some other guild things. Current warpaint, however, may be tweaked and adjusted without waiting for a Warpaint II release. No, I'm not saying that Warpaint II is planned, but there are some good ideas here.
