On your first question, "Back in the day" must have been later in the EQ lifetime. Even through Velious, raid content was "warrior or GTFO". Defensive discipline, which was exclusive to warriors, is an insurmountable advantage for warriors. Also, warriors are coded to have better HP scaling, their armor has higher innate AC (see Cobalt vs. Deepwater BPs), and I'm sure there are a few other innate benefits that tanks can elaborate on. I don't think it was until guilds were farming PoTime that they started letting knights MT for their increased aggro generation on farm content.
Velious also had a large end-game Giant population, which, if I remember correctly, is immune to stun regardless of level. So even if camps are fighting mobs under the 55th level, their pally tank could still be fighting stun-immune mobs. |
Definitely remember having a SK MTing Ssra during Luclin era (which we won't see ont his server) and that was pre VT as we didn't enter VT until after PoP release.
I'll be honest by saying I'm not 100% sure before that but a good 75% that this same SK has been occasionnaly MTing during Velious (with a few exceptions such as the AoW).
