A lot of that was probably intentional, too. I mean, clerics get a 10% bonus to every heal they cast, right? And that's in addition to having more efficient base spells at earlier levels. Clerics don't have a self mana regen spell because they don't need one.
That said I do agree with a lot of the idea. Sometimes I wish I could have classic EQ as the designers wanted before the problems with network, server power, and profit margins forced them to ship what we got. For example, Druids have a track skill cap of 50 on P1999 right now because that's what it was on live. But the reason for that was due to a client limitation that doesn't currently exist on P1999. So which is more classic? The actual server state or the developer's intent?

I really did like the WoW concept of CC, even if it was never really useful. Almost every class had the ability to CC one or two mobs at most, and they were limited to certain types. Then they put mixed types in dungeons and a good group would have had to work together to contain the pulls - which were agro linked. But after playing with WoW players, I'm very happy that the mobs were so easy that CC wasn't really necessary. It would have been a nightmare.
