You said no bonus at all after 75, but as the maths shows there is a bonus after 75 for rogues as 81 is a higher number than 75 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. /pedantry
Well pedantically its 81 at 54 and 91 at 46. However, that was never my point and you're misunderstanding what i meant. The basic premise is still the case. Once Agi is 75, you can forget about it.

It's obvious to me that in classic devs did their best to make gear largely unimportant (tiny gains for +stats until the highest levels, pretty low AC hard caps going up to level 50, even the best ratio weapons before dragons (which weren't itemised at release) were not that much better than fine steel and so on). Unfortunately the Devs realised people were complete pixel addicts so tried to make stats rain from the dragons/planes/kunark onwards, even though the fundamental mechanics of the game were against this.
That may be part of it. But it still doesn't explain why Slow and Haste (especially Haste as it could be obtained from items) were so devastatingly effective.
