A note about the future

[Diablo]

Sorry if this was missed before, but I'm just wondering.

I'd like to assume skirmisher will be getting the foot knight's polearms such as halberd/poleaxe, as it was mentioned they were the 'new' polearm class, but how will this balance with commando? Skirmishers are generally light troops, so will this be made up in weapon proficiencies/powerstrike? Will infantry get nerfed slightly in powerstrike and such to balance out the point of skirmisher? As it seems kindof pointless to go pure skirmisher if commando is just going to be flat out better in all regards.

I'm also curious as to what happens to cavalry xp, will it be transferred to another class's xp or will it go into assist xp? I'd like to think converting all cavalry xp for players into assist might be a better way of handling it.
