I like Pharos, for the very same reasons others seem to hate it. On the other hand the high level duty roulette is kinda screwed up because Haukke HM and Pharos Sirius are on a completely different level compared to Wanderer's and Amdapor Keep.

I've seen ilvl 50 bard with ilvl 47 white nq bow in Haukke HM. In WP or AK that wouldn't have been a problem, but resulted in a abandon vote at the first boss.
