It would be great if the fusion shaman 'upgraded' all uac handwraps and footwraps to hold (1)+ fusion orb. A system where holding a weapon (similar to how ensorcell selects shield over runesetaff to calculate cva) would eliminate fusion bonus from ALL hand/footwraps. This could help maintain balance in a system where selecting UAC style loses 2-4+ possible fusion locations by selecting unarmed status.

Alternately, UAC style characters are forced to hold a shield and a UAC compatible weapon, both of which severely handicap your UAC superiority, to participate in the fusion system.
