I had the same opinion about invis pulling. I don't care if it's classic; I care that it utterly trivializes the game. In fact I'm pretty sure that our current implementation is NOT classic, but so what.
Also the amount of 'work/tactics involved in setting up a low hp kite' is approximately zero. I know because I did this in OT once on my bard: go tag a bunch of mobs while zooming around at light speed; have a friend cast some sort of beneficial spell on you and run around with low hp. The risk of dying was 0.0. Now I suppose in DL/BW with casters it might be about 0.1% harder to circle them up and/or deal with sowed mobs, but on the whole the risk/reward ratio is silly compared to 'normal' EQ. I really don't see how anyone can possibly defend low HP kiting as good for the server.
