sks had prenerf cos, OP as fuckkkkk

Not really. For invis pulling, arguably, but you have to remember it was about the only non-gimped thing we had. Ever. To that point. God forbid a class get one piece of unique gear that let's them do one thing better than other classes. The CoS gave us flexibility with our FD, which was inferior to monks' and helped with pulling. oooo ahhhh that's so OP.

At that time hybrids had penalties compounded with other penalties. The CoS actually solidified a role for us for once. If the CoS was OP,
then so were half the classes, and several of the epics.

It is a common myth that it was nerfed because it was OP. It wasn't. It was nerfed so rogues could "evade" in pvp on SZ. Because that became Brad McQuade's pet project that summer and, once again, he had to fuck it up for everybody with his moronic "nerf everything to fix things" mentality with everything he touched, as if one class evading on one pvp server is important, anyway. If it was truly OP they would have outright nerfed the item, but they didn't. Just the drop.

As it happens I'm still using mine that I looted during Kunark on my live SK now.
