[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 5487612, member: 46713"] No. I'm passing judgement based on the information I have NOW. If new information is revealed, I may well change my opinion. E.g. a change of opinion happened for me after the recent preview of the Nentir Vale MV. Before the preview I wasn't interested, now that I know it will include 4e versions of several old favorite monsters, I'm probably getting it. Really? I thought Essentials builds could be of any role, e.g. the Slayer is a striker, though it's a fighter build and should therefore be a defender. Well, powers with riders that can only be used if you have a certain class feature are typically less attractive than powers without riders or powers with riders that you _can_ use. It's part of the powers' balancing. Sure, you can pick them, but it's often a suboptimal choice. I agree, that it's not a new problem, though. In the end, how useful it's going to be for someone who prefers to ignore Essentials will depend on how much of the content represents _worthwhile_ options for 'Classic' characters. [/QUOTE]
