This poster has never played everquest on a pvp server. This little thing called resist gear is what allows melee to close and attack, you're not suppose to wear your pve gear in pvp bro.
ps, stop making the erroneous assumption that melee are gimped on classic pvp servers. Melee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Casters for group fights, guild fights, and even solo even at max preplanar gear. Shit man, look at vztz where MR based CC spells landed at a much higher rate than they will here. Despite all the bitching by mippo, wehrmacht, etc, guess what guilds won fights for vox, naggy, etc. It wasn't the guild of druids and mages, it was the melee heavy rape trains in resist gear (just like on live).
Your arguments involving melee needing instant pumice or only applicable towards people who are:
a) retards that refuse to bank their hero bracers because they think ac is more important that 7mr (insert x piece of pve gear for y piece of resist gear).
b) retards that think because at early levels pure melee have a rough time fighting casters with CC they should allow items in that completely break pvp
c) and retards like lachius who know that they only way they can compete is by100% stripping off opponents buffs so that they can hope for a 1 shot lavabolt kill or a double attack and harm touch.

None of the discussion here is the least bit objective. I'd like to see some actual testing in PvP settings to see whether this stuff breaks EQ as badly as some claim. It is undeniably classic content, much like manastones. People debating that it shouldn't be included because it "breaks pvp" are conveniently ignoring the fact that it's already broken. The question is, is it better with egg-shaped pumice?
Answering that objectively will require DM help -- at least making the item available in beta.
