What Essentials stuff is already in the Compendium?

Except for Powers.

Some Cleric stuff appears to be in there as Essentials material.

Lvl 2: Bless, Shield of Faith*, Cure Light Wounds*
Lvl 5: Weapon of the Gods*
Lvl 6: Cure Serious Wounds
Lvl 16: Cure Critical Wounds, Divine Armor
Lvl 22: Heal*, Purify

Not all the powers say in the power description that they are from Player Essentials. The ones with asterices above don't have it in the description. All the others say "Player Essentials 1".

Some observations:
These are all classic powers, even if they were not originally in the 4e PHB1, such as Cure Critical Wounds and Heal.

The powers are all Dailies (duh for Weapon of the Gods). You know, like Daily spells for the nostalgia-prone.

The utility power effects are all single-target surgeless healing, group encounter-length buffs, or group one-time save-ends-removal buffs. Weapon of the Gods is a single-target encounter-length buff with conditional enemy debuff. The powers are pretty straightforward.

Can anyone else find any more Compendium entries? I wonder if some are listed for Essentials but don't show up in queries (kinda the opposite of Cure Light Wounds, which shows up in the query but it's not listed in the description).

Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere... I haven't been able to find mention of it.

[Nod] All are from PHB1 except for Cure Critical Wounds and Heal (from Divine Power). Sorry if my post did not state this explicitly.

Which makes me wondering if they're going to update those powers to be minor actions (like they should be) or because they facilitate the 3.x "I do nothing but heal" Cleric that they were supposedly trying to get away from?

Bless, Shield of Faith, and Weapon of the Gods are all Minors. Divine Armor could probably use the same treatment, but it (and the others listed) are all Standards. Want Minor healing? Try Healing Word... but the recipient will have to pay a surge.

Note that these powers don't come up anymore using "Player's Essentials: Heroes of [Truncation]". In fact, the sources all look screwed up and are missing most products in most Compendium categories.
