most underpowered class in game?

[DeathsSilkyMist]

The problem is you think I am using an ad populum argument. The reality is I am talking about game balance. Everquest monster HP isn't balanced around players having high teir gear. Its balanced around low to mid tier gear. This is why you don't need highly geared (high DPS) players to clear content quickly.

I have no idea why you think Everquest is comparable to Chess lol. You have a strange idea that you need to powergame a 20 year old elf sim basically balanced to easy mode. Remember that the game balance was designed around expansions coming out quickly, so they can't expect players to be decked out with raid gear when a new expansion releases.
