Enjoyed your post a lot (yes Enchanters are definitely unclassic here) but I can't fully agree with this part if we're talking Velious era. From what I remember, Monks really did become great tanks at that point, and a lot of Monks were mad about how gear-dependent the class became, because before the expansions the whole mantra of the class was you forgo possessions, just needing your fists and simple clothing. My friend had a 60 Monk and Warrior during Velious and found the Monk to be completely better for grouping; no noticeable lack of tanking ability, while doing more DPS and Feign Death pulling.

There is a log of mcoy's wizard (Qien?) Getting owned by a green con skelly in 2001. Channeling definitely OP on P99 the is no question
Channeling is OP on p99, but dying to a green con is just bad gameplay. Cast root inbetween attack swings and back up.

Necro was super OP in 1999. Lifetaps completely unresistible for a period of time. Being able to kite without DoT's doing reduced damage for a period of time. Their pets attacking faster when given low delay weapons. The pet was able to farm a lot of things on its own, while the Necro literally went to bed, with Feign Death protecting them from any danger.
