Based on how game mechanics were in 1999, rather than the altered version we have here with P99, this was my ranking of the classes -

I would probably put Ranger as the worst overall for P99. Rogues have the upgraded versions of Sneak and Backstab already at Green launch, right? That's a big boost over what they used to be initially. NPC's on P99 still don't flee as swiftly as they used to in Classic as well, right? So that makes Ranger snare less valuable than it was back in the day. Hybrids on P99 Green do get the benefit of a bigger mana pool and having Meditate as compared to way back in 1999, and also casting in combat working more efficiently, but overall I'd probably put Rogue sneak as being the more pivotal thing, for corpse dragging when people die in bad spots.
Paladin is probably the worst when Rangers are able to catch up in gear, and in this modified era of LGuk no longer being that great of a place to go; RIP the benefit of Ghoulbane and undead DD's for grinding on those undead froggies.
