[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5733862, member: 82106"] Eh, see for me it seems a bit different. DS was irrelevant to me. Most of Essentials was semi-irrelevant in that I didn't NEED redoes of the existing classes. MV was nice though. The Plane Above was forgettable, I haven't cracked it since I read it through when I bought it. Same for The Underdark. They were not bad books at all, just not WOW books unless you specifically needed that specific stuff. Same with The Plane Below, it was OK but not WOW. Demonomicon was KICK ASS though.
