Game Mechanics: MELEE PROBLEMS (Mob hit rate, # max hits, etc etc)

The issue needs to be looked at in general terms as well, since very, very green mobs hit my druid with a nearly 100% hit rate and I've got my defense up to 100 or so at level 25, with a dodge of 75 and an AC of 316, which is low, but shouldn't warrant a level 10 mob hitting me for maximum damage upwards of 20 times in a row.

Mage/Necro pets *seriously* owned warriors in classic all the time in duels. That was always a very loud complaint.....am I the only one who remembers people crying about that? Thats a large part of the reason necro pets got nerfed down a lot.

From a balance standpoint, I don't agree with this. From a historical standpoint however....this sounds right.

The problem isn't with pets, its with the mob accuracy being sky high.

I played a dwarf warrior in classic and could never kill necro pets. Mage fire pets I could never get below 80%. This is classic. A well geared warrior in classic could not kill a hill giant until 47 or 48 and it was still close.

Except - Villert is a monk, not a warrior :-p

I remember dueling and destroying necro pets and most mage pets using a combination of ID, bandaging and mend.

I do agree with the warrior history vs pets though - as unfair as that was.
