[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 5395808, member: 63763"] In the case of X Power books you got: New builds, some of which were different enough from other builds to be their own thing. A lot of the stuff in the book was focused on these new builds. The stuff for older classes? Encounters, utilities, dailies (maybe an at-will or two) and feats. Well, guess what these will have at least some of those things. We don't know about the non-Essentialized classes yet and whether they will be represented, but at least some of the powers and feats are still reverse compatible with the older stuff ... the stuff which, compared to some of the Essential builds has a ton of existing supplements already out there. It makes sense for the new BUILDS to be Essentialized ... they tend to make the individual builds seem more different than each other than the older class builds did (with some exceptions, like the beastmaster ranger ... which created a bunch of non-backward compatible powers). Hopefully, they will still create POWERS for other classes (or at least some spellscar-esque power swappable powers to give people some shadow powers) but I can see why they'd go Essential for the builds.
