    I’m really excited about the new instances, but it’ll probably be like every other instance and I’ll barely find the time to do any of them!

    There’s still stuff from Moria that I’ve not done, let alone the big Mirkwood stuff. I have a 65 too, so I’m really just very slow.

    No mention of a boost to the power of complicated FMs :( I was hoping that the change would encourage PUGs to try out the FM straights more frequently.

      Yeah, no doubt. I really want to see a concentrated effort on making FM’s fairly awesome. I think FFXI did group maneuvers right and I’d like to see something more across those lines.

        Agreed — even non-PUGs are loathe to do anything that’s not Hew the Stone/Break the Door etc. because there’s just not enough of an advantage to doing a complicated FM.

    It seems that we are getting 100 new “questions” in Evendim.

    Looks pretty good overall. :)

    Can’t say I like the ‘improvement’ to the health pots though – usually if I’m resorting to using one, I need ALL the points it offers, not a small percentage of them! :D
