IMO SB writing was very meh. IMO HW was very very good detail storywise and built up alot of meaningful storylines. While SB seems rushed and at the same time empty.

I'm looking forward to SHB simply because for some reason the expansions with tank and healer jobs are done much better.

In terms of Master Matoya line, I believe it may be in reference to a title. As we all know Yshtola is on a time clock as she is slowly dying due to the events that happened back at the end of 2.55, I think Matoya sacrifices herself to restore Yshtola's eye sight thus restoring her whole, thus Urianger speaks in reference to her as if she dead in a what would Master Matoya say.
