I have zero EA/Beta experience, but I've always played Rogue and that's what I plan to play in MnM -- I was an Assling in EQ, but was hoping to avoid going down that path a second time.
From what I understand, + to weapon skills is quite powerful and a huge incentive to pick a Halfling -- that said, is the bonus only useful while leveling? As in, does everyone eventually get to the same cap or is it a situation where Assling rogues will have like 150 Piercing Skill while everyone else is at 135?
