Then move on to eg caster NPC's.
The system in EQ was always the way that "caster mobs" "cheated", cause they hit (melee) like a melee npc. they have the same hp as a melee npc and they on to that nuke the shit out of you.
Buhuuu ... everyone whined about that also on live, even the npc casters there usually didn't use the highest lvl spells that theoretically were available for them, wich made caster npc's relative easy for classes like mages, necroes, druids, wizards that could keep them away from melee range and just nuke them, cause the PC usually nuked for considerably higher dmg than the npc, with the exception of healer npc's that always was a challenge.
Melee sure aint the part that has issues. There's more issues in that npc's on every EMU server resist magic a bit too well, and the casters use the highest available spells for them, wich makes caster NPC's a real challenge here.
The fact is, EQ was designed this way. Live with it or don't play
