Yeah the AV2 preview is a little light as well. Overall I am happy with my subscription, but with the druid preview, and this AV2 preview and them saying that the invoker is also a "preview" (their code for level 1-3 it seems like), I am getting a bit worried that this is the direction that they are taking all their stuff.
Just my opinion, but the mechanics on the tattoos seem, for lack of a better word, "wonky". Many of them give some small benefit equal to the number of surges you have spent since your last extended rest.
And I very much dislike the concept of the "Orbs of Sequestered Conflict" but at least they acknowledge their effects on gameplay in the section before the items. And it seems kind of like a ploy to sell more dungeontiles.
