Who needs Luclin?

Wizards need Luclin for spell critical strikes.

As someone who plays a wizard I agree that pure casters are somewhat left behind at Velious in terms of advancement. But considering how ahead pure casters were during true classic and Kunark it is hard to say where the true balance lies. I know on my wizard I can kite four blues at a time, more mana pool is available with more proliferated gear and the way the market has bottomed out on a lot of good items, meaning it is easier to get decent gear that will let you advance and contend for high end stuff sooner. It would be nice to have some of the flowing thought options that PoP and Luclin offers. I'm not sure if we can still call the server classic if I can level 1-30 in the Paludal Caverns in one afternoon.

These were the last two expansions that I played, but they were the first major steps away from classic. Graveyards for corpses. Nexus for travel. Marketplace for trading. Newbie quests offering some really good armor that looking back seems about as good as the early planar stuff and better than most other old world loot that is much harder to get.

If p99 released those expansions it would not be classic anymore, even if one of my favorite classes would be more balanced.
