I think part of the beauty of EQ pvp was the imbalance. Nowadays games strive so hard to create balance that classes are constantly wrecked and rebuilt to achieve something that may never exist. (Hence the flavor of the months syndrome, where every patch made a class more powerful then all the rest.)
For those who never played on classic pvp servers. Leveling was not easy, even as a cleric on tallon I probably soloed 70% of my way to 50. But when Kunark came out I had a guild and comrades I could trust and was able to group 100% to 60. Anyhow this is just meant to be a helpful reminder that classic EQ took a lot of patience and good judgement (pick your fights wisely). If your a melee make a lot of friends.
