All bets will be off come 3 August, as many changes are being made to the EA build and we don't know what they are. We will all have to wait and see!

(I'll let others more familiar with D&D at higher level comment on your build question, though again as we don't know exactly how classes will be implemented there is a level of guesswork right now.)
