>I don't know about anyone else, but it kind of annoys me that we have identical technique bonuses to Moon Mages. I mean, we're Warrior Mages. Wouldn't our guild encourage us towards crafting disciplines that support combat more?

In the grand scheme of things, one guild bonus tech is not going to make any difference either way in specializations for crafting.

The Tech allocations are more to do with the fact that Warrior Mages are magic prime. They do have the same bonus techs as Moon Mages as well as Clerics. I think the emphasis needs to not be that they are Warrior Mages but rather that they are Warrior Mages.

When the bonus techs were decided, enchanting was still a big question mark (and might be still?). I could see them changing once we have a solid understanding of what each tree will do. Moon Mages could get two slots for runecrafting, for example, while Warrior Mages get two for whatever enchanting discipline would add elemental damage to weapons.

I'd rather 3 techs that made for the harvesting and creation process of items of mass magic destruction...just like the guild's theme, the guild of warrior magic

Why weaponsmithing?
picking from the basic edge, blunt, repair, or tempering, that's a wasted tech slot that requires lots of training to get much use out of.
Even with the extra tech you get from having to learn up to that point to get the free one.
And they could prolly just make a spell that boosted forging like the bard's have that would work so much better, since its in the SOI.

If we are just going to pick and choose what techs we just want, then:
Carving or outfitting for either of the arrange all skinning techs.
Blacksmithing for basic smelting and then use the other tech from normal learning for metal refining.
Whatever enchanting discipline goes into harvesting sigils.

Demand less.
