There has to be some sort of skill involved although I have none. Never did in 99-03 either, I just ran around with my necro dot'ing the shit out of everything anytime I had a blue bar.
So is it "SKILL" or is it "game mechanics knowledge for PVP"?
I'm going to guess and say it's game mechanics during pvp... as I don't think finesse had anything to do with the game although Jousting did have timing issues. I think the biggest "skill" in EQ pvp is whether or not you have the ability to run around with competent friends - more so than those you pvp against anyway. One of many examples,
1 group armed with a big daddy enchanter with area mez can wreak havoc on 2 groups and will appear to be "super skilled" as a result (Hello Knights of the White Rose). Fact is, the enchanter just pushed a damn button every 30 seconds.
It's a game of shiit talking and "who you know" IMO. From low level to high level... and I'm fucked when we start playing now that I think about it with the limited time
