I don't have a video but I can say as a pug a normal victimize 1 I would do 80(NM)-500(normal mob) but when I put it in a WS battle regime with spells in it I am doing 1k-3k damage victimize.

Nothing in this game is doing 3k on the big 5 NM's....

lol pay attention to previous numbers the low number was NM's the high number was regular mobs

I pulled 2,700 on Great Buffalo once with Punishing Barbs, but alas, I think that was nerfed as I never see it go over 359 or something like that anymore.

oh... ok.. sorry for the confusion.... yea, you can probably get close to 1k now on an MM...

The problem with the Twelvewood zone isn't the trees. It's all the rocks and cliffs and canyons. Burning down the Black Shroud would only net you a zone like Thanalan.

SE has to manage somehow to get rid of the stone, but keep the trees. Simple fire will not be enough. Something far more supernatural will need to occur. I believe this is the setup for that.

I'm definitely excited as well.

Sorel, good point: I think one way to possibly change terrain and have trees grow back would be that parts of the Black Shroud are hit with big explosions during a battle with the Garlean Empire (in essence, leveling sections of the previous rocky, maze-like terrain).

Then they can have something like the Elementals healing / restoring the trees, forests, and voila: removed chunks of rock, but keeping forests.

But as others have said, I don't know how much can really change without impacting the starter story (redoing it?) for Gridania.

I'm hoping for the best and some big changes.

I don't think anything in the Gridania starting story depends on the presence of the Black Shroud's stone maze. I believe the Gridania starter battle is mostly in a clearing. And I don't believe any of the Gridania Storyline Quests make reference to the geology of the Twelvewood. I could be mistaken, though.

Just a quickie but the Camp Bentbranch guards have new dialogue since this was posted on the lodestone, nothing special they just mention hearing rumours of 'some shady bloke' hanging round the camps and to keep your eyes open.

Not tried the other camps though yet.

This is the dialogue I mentioned earlier, Shenanigans. Looks like I was right. ^-^;

They just need to make the Black Shroud less grid like.
I understand that it's supposed to be a deep twisted forest, but the illusion is ruined by right angles every 10 feet.
