On the other hand early EQ raiding was not that complex compared to some of the WoW stuff. Also in the expansions the bosses in group dungeons had strats, not really the case for original EQ.

Overall though you could make it to max level in WoW and not know shit about maximizing your class potential. EQ was the opposite, people who were max level (and didn't buy their toon) had skillz.
Lol if anyone ever raided Solteris... the 3rd event is likely the most coordination event in game.

Rathe Council is a close second having to kill the 12 mobs (6 mezzable 6 non mezzable) within a 7 minute window...

Balreth (Solteris 3) you had to beat a mob to 20%, at which point is splits into 2 different mobs, and balance their HP within 5% of each other down to 20% if they unbalance the event fails. At 20% they split into 4, repeating the balance again. At 20% of the 4 split, they split into 8. You balance those down and they split into 16 mobs and must be killed (no balance). So imagine balancing 8 mobs, within 5% of all of their HP, if any get 5% different at any point in time the event fails and you get to start again. This is while healing 8 different tanks.

Later EQ was better raiding than classic imo. But classic has some qualities over later EQ expansions too :P.
