Quote:Blizzard's pretty much washed their hands with skill balancing at this point, but it's the worst thing about the patch.
do you remember the screenies with the synergies for FoH/HB/BH? those were released before the first patch was(but the synergy numbers was from the patch after), the reason for that is (is most likely that) the older one was more stable.
when they released the second patch they (most likely) already had a newer version up, with most likely changed synergies and balancing as well, so we have no idea what the current balance is on synergies.
hopefully nearly all skills will have synergies(look at jab/fend/impale and cry), and mana cost is figured in more ways than just level, since an increase with damage of 1000% should have a slight effect on the mana cost.
also you can complain how much you want about synergies, but when you think about it there are more viable skills(if only for a class or two) than there were in 1.09.
