Of course, you are entitled to take whatever action you wish, especially for SP. I myself play pretty much only SP. But, this info is very partial and of unknown accuracy. I think I'd wait until the patch came and was final to be sure. And as far as upgrading/not upgrading, that is up to each person. Are you unsure enough of yourself to need other people's approval/agreement to not upgrade?

I, myself, will upgrade. The synergy stuff looks interesting enough in itself to at least upgrade and play with.....especially in SP. But, then, I currently have 21 characters I'm actively working with in 8-player SP, three in each class, and more builds running around in my head that I haven't made yet. Maybe 1.10 will get me even more builds to think about. I worry little about 'balance'. I think more about fun. If it wasn't fun, I wouldn't play it.

I respectfully submit for those of you that D2(X) is not fun anymore, your best course is to find something else to play. Of course you may post your opinions, but isn't once or twice of 'Blizzard screwed up D2(X) and is screwing it up more with this patch' enough? Is there a need to put that out six or ten or twenty times? Deal with the world that is, not that you wish it to be. If you wish it to be different, do the work to make your own mod. (As Roland has, and never hesitates to point out, but still whines) For God's sake, people, can you save your whining till we have more hard info?

Oh, and Roland, don't take this personally. Yours was just one name of several I could have picked. You know who you are.
