SKs are underrated. If you look at classic, yeah, it was a sad existence. Kunark brought a mana pool balance, and some solid gear options (unless you played Iksar, of course). Velious obviously was quite a boon for the class, at the high end.
Solo it is OK if you have good gear. But the casting side is really bad until later levels. Best aggro-yanking in the game, tank-wise. With Death Peace, Darkness and a CoS, the best puller in the game during the Kunark->PoP era.
Oh! And fear-kiting the 4-neck dragons in WW was also possible in Velious era. I don't think I ever tried, but I knew a few BiS folks who did regularly.
TL;DR: Necro
