This game got good press but I have stayed away from it since I have heard some negative things about it here and there. I see that it has been patched a few times and I was wondering if the skill balance issues have been worked out. Generally, I heard investing in spells was near useless since you could find spell books allover. Some skills are nearly worthless (the Deathknight one and some others) and others are just ridiculous (heard something about death scorpians you can summon by using an item that run around and ruin game balance). Core balance issues mean alot to me as 1) I dont like picking "overpowered" builds and 2) I dont like the existense of overpowered builds since they marginalize other choices I make for my character. I'd like to give this game a go if these things have been worked out to some degree.
