First all, thank you for changing weapon swap reset!
Could you please clarify either here or in future notes the justification for reseting buffs on singular trait swap? I can see how removing the ability to obtain combat benefit from what are essentially "macros" built in to the game for QoL is aligned with the philosophy of "one button press, on action". On the other hand, swapping weapons or traits manually within the same template is still one button press for one action, and if you can execute these changes manually quickly enough to be effective, it doesn't seem to make sense to penalise the player.
This line specifically:
doesn't really make sense in the context of these changes. A consistent ruleset for buff removal would either be everything removed if a build (skills, traits, weapons) changes in any way at all - which I'm not proposing incidentally - or, buffs are removed on any change that is considered a "macro-enhanced" change: clicking templates, template hotkeys. Buffs being removed if you manually change traits from one section of the hero panel, but not if you manually change weapons from another section of the hero panel, seems more inconsistent.
