There is no 'hard class' in EQ except maybe sorta kinda enchanter??? every class has it's quirks and every class becomes clockwork once understood.
I think the real challenge in EQ is pacing, pulling, understanding mob spawn times, and agro management tools like root, blind. Clerics using buffs to heal and top off in intervals, etc so they save a little bit of mana.... tricks to soloing like pets or strafe-stabbing stuff on a rogue. Or using a bow. Or using a weighted axe on a warrior. Most stuff bluebies won't ever really experience because they just line up in a group and press auto attack and cast a few spells. How to sneak around with IVU and invis pots, paci, etc. Rooting and camping mobs to split... just a thousand little tricks.
... u know saving/building some mana before pulling 3 hags and having two healers... that is strategy, rooting one out of line of site and spacing out the kills so the next time you just pull one at a time and everything is smoother... a lot of people just dont get it. It's meaningless in wow, you just tab target and spam interupts and focus targets.
The risk is much higher in EQ. Which can be thrilling. Sometimes. You can also die on the wall in a big zone like dreadlands and never really have much risk. And still hit 60.
