Yes they were. Until pet attack speed was nerfed, the pet alone would outdamage ANY melee in classic (except against Dragons/Gods, because those would fear the pets). After the pet attack speed was nerfed, Necros would still match or exceed the DPS of melee on any target where Bond of Death (or just a plain lifetap or DD) + Venom of the Snake landed.

They were overwhelmingly the most overpowered class when the game came out and they were still the "most powerful" class before Kunark. Their power level in Kunark was correct, IMO.
