Playtesters: Were Tieflings nerfed?

[Terramotus]

So, from the discussion in this thread, the analysis in which I largely agree with, the Tiefling and Half-Elf are the bottom tier classes, at least according to the information we have. Having seen them, along with the other classes in action in KoTS, this seems to bear out.

Now, the Half-Elves were nerfed from the playtesting phase according to Massawyrm on the Gleemax forums.

Half-elves WERE the multi-classing race in the playtest. They were AWESOME. Apparently too awesome as they don't resemble their playtest stats at all. Initially they got a free multiclassing feat at character creation and could multi-class in more than one class if they wanted. Of course, that was also with the original multiclass rules, which arguably were pretty different. Now they're not so hot. They do get a free encounter power (chosen from the at will powers of any class) and get a cool ability to take the feats of both elves and humans (both of which rock - so this is pretty cool.) But there is nothing to them that I can see that make them multiclass focused at all anymore.

They're a spiffy race, but will most likely see play with heavy RPers or minmaxers building CHA heavy classes.

So, given that, can any playtesters note if the Tiefling was nerfed at all during playtesting, and what sort of powers they had beforehand? As I mentioned in another thread, I'm considering giving the Half-Elves some of what they had back, and I'm curious if there was a similar situation with the Tieflings.

Sorry, can't answer the question. I can though say that tieflings are at least interesting and flavorful. I agree they could use a bit of a bump, but don't seem nearly as useless as half-elves.
