If by "good" you mean "annoying and frustrating and cookie cutter" then yes. thats true.
The PRE thing was frustrating for any casting class except bards until about 1 year ago.
Barb, Cleric and FvS all still have 1 PRE. This is particularly crappy for Barb and Cleric as original classes that are getting less dev attention than Monk which has been in the game for much less time.
Monks need attention. Every update and they have something else wrong with monks.
Anyways, casters were fun back in the day. They are just as broken now, as they were then, with pre's. 'Tis true.
The only thing not cookie cutter these days is sorcs. Ooh, they all go a diff savant path, they all still solo whatever quest, and - wait a second! They did that back in the day as well! Guess nothing has really changed there. Same deal with wizards. The only difference now is that it is easier.
I will give you that bards, clerics and fvs need more attention. Then again, imo, they should have released all the pre classes for each class at the same time. Not a little here, a little there, maybe a tier here and a tier there. Bullshit in my opinion.
