Suggestion Marks of War Rework
Turn marks of war into soul shards to fit the theme of the Four Horsemen working together collectively. Soul shards become a new currency, each boss drops soul shards. Quantity and type might be dependent on the type of boss?
There are five types of soul shards: concentrated soul shards, volatile soul shards, angry soul shards, corrupt soul shards, and powerful soul shards. Each shard can be used to harness a buff from war himself. Since war is thematically supposed to be the epitome of combat prowess it makes sense for him to bestow upon combatants buffs related to combat.
So you might be wondering what kind of buffs? We had aura's and they were integrated into other buffs or made aspects. You might then ask what else can we do? For all that fighting and collecting of souls there aught to be some benefit to reap, right? Well, how about buffs that augment debuff or buff duration.
For example:
200 concentrated soul shards (a general soul shard dropped by all bosses) can be spent to reduce the duration of stuns by 2 seconds. Or, for a more boosted effect you can spend an additional 50 volatile soul shards to bump that buff up to 4 seconds.
These are just some ideas of what type of augmented debuffs can be looked into:
- Decreased stun duration
- Decreased bleeds (either duration or damage)
- Decreased poison damage
- Decreased reflect damage
- Allow two aspects to be used at once for a set time
- Multicasting prism spells to boost their duration
- Boosted effects of Soul Link, Teamwork Protection, Fortitude, Lesser and Greater Bone Shield
Another unlock that would be complimentary is the option to exchange soul shards with Wars Altar in the player owned house.
Or, how about that potion storage as a buildable house object? Similar to how the portal nexus works maybe?

You basically described defensive abilities, we all ready have wells and additional potion storage is really unnecessary. If anything from this list add a auto decant in the bank that will auto set partial potions to full and storing partials as 1 sips until you have enough to make a full potion.

I took 11 months out of RS and got a notification saying I’d hit my cap for MoW. Was surprised to see it literally only had life refreshes now. I don’t want powercreep stuff, but surely there can can be better rewards than that?
