chardok AE makes me foam at the ass and is for people that hate playing everquest.
To each their own.

I personally think it's cool when a group can use a variety of different abilities, together in conjunction that allow you to do things the devs didn't intend on.

Otherwise, PBAE Nuke spells are absolutely useless. And no, farming level 20 greens shouldn't be your claim for their use. No one even mass farmed greens until Luclin, when trade skills were useful.

Also the way the pull is done is equally awesome. Utilizing how faction works and the ability to park a pet and use a linear zone to create trains in your favor, again awesome.

Using DA to stack up mobs on yourself so you aren't dealing with streams of mobs and the ability to do this because of how aggro transfer works, again awesome.

I dunno - It's just that Mechanics behind why Chardok is allowed to work require an understanding of the game and people doing their role in a group properly for a few minutes. It's no exploit where it has 0 risk or takes 0 effort. It requires a group of 4-5 level 60s and 2-3 level 50-60s to work. It required some knowledge and testing for people to make it work in classic. Here people expanded on that and utilized faction friendly pet classes and monks to do larger pulls that modern internet connections now allow.

I've done dungeon leveling and solo leveling of all varieties. I Re-lived my classic experience on my Druid. All future alts were created purely for raid purposes, so the road to 60 is irrelevant to me on them. <3 having a 60 cleric and wizard for raids. Both of whom have never grouped in KC, Seb, or HS. I can't imagine anything more boring than grouping on these one sided classes. But, they are extremely useful raid characters, so I <3 them.
