I feel like I need closure. Did you get enough info from this thread to make a decision? I for one would love to know your to on name, so I can add it to my friends list.
What makes you think this? Class balance changes, but it's no closer to being balanced in PoP than it is in classic, or TSS, or most any other expansion prior to catching live. The devs balance live, and don't give a bit of concern to any other expansion when it comes to balance. As they should, because balancing 23+ expansions constantly would be impossible.
