Basically things were around even in vanilla. Along came Kunark and melees replaced their 6/24 weapons with things like 9/18 jade maces. Wizards basically didn't get a real upgrade to their nukes and were stuck in vanilla mode dps through Kunark and Velious.
This classic problem is exacerbated on this server where 7 years of Kunark means melees are probably using 1:2 ratio weapons from selling a couple of centi belts at level 10.
