Bought a medium sized boat, after some hiccups getting out of the Tanvu bay everything was good. It is great being able to transport the troops around, especially in Kojan which is all little islands.
Chunking freezes up the game for a second and the boat stops but no one has gone overboard yet. The U button works if someone is under the boat anyway.

Picked up a lot of new abilities at level 10 and 12. Took a long time to redo the macros but things are rocking now. I didn't pick up, but I am sure Alge said, that Instant abilities all fire from a macro at once. I couldn't work out why trash mobs were dying so quick. Basically one button press shoots off 4 or 5 abilities in the macros. Feels a bit exploity but handy for making macros. Now I don't need to worry about loading up the macros with instant cast no refresh abilities.
The defensive abilities I put in to the rescue macros for each of the characters. The Disciple is still quite squishy, maybe some better armour will help.
