Using the right abilities is the key for successful crafting.
Agreed. If nothing else this forced me to review the way I crafted and I can see that there is enough versatility in the system that you can circumvent most fatal progression. If it isn't a simple bug it's working as intended and looking at crafting in a larger aspect to change even a little thing will ripple through the crafting and create exploits. The way it is right now it's a trade off depending on how you kit your traits.

The only thing I am still unclear on is, the actions and traits. It says I can kit 7 but if I do that it turns them all in to a lottery pool. I can actually only kit 5 and be sure they will will be in the list when I craft. Not sure if that is working as intended or a bug.
