Warriors and Monks are for sure amazing, but Ragefire is a terrible example. The vast majority of NPCs in EverQuest have neither 100% magic immunity nor Dragon Roar.

And while I could probably do Ragefire on either my warrior or monk I'd rather bring one of my shaman/cleric pals than burn 10K in clickies.

I don't disagree that it is a bit of a ridiculous example, but it does highlight how monks and warriors can do a lot more than people assume with the right preparation. I mean, Svenn's use of puppet strings to solo Portector back in the day wasn't any less impressive because he used strong item clickies imo, but even with the clickies I doubt a shaman or ench would be able to solo RF.
My whole point was to refute the claims that a) monks are one trick ponies and b) monk aren't arguably the most overpowered class in the game. Obviously there are situations where shamans or enchanters are better, but there are also situations where monks are better. I mean, you could even make an argument thay bards are the most OP class because how fast they can level, but that is just one aspect of the game.
Like I said in previous posts, monks may be more straight forward than other classes, but their dmg output, avoidance and mitigation do imo make them arguably the most OP class right now.
