The mob's borked run-speed aside, that sounds right for EQ. Melees above L35 or so always always always sucked horribly fighting mobs anywhere close to their level unless they had fear-kiting as an option. Badly played and badly geared casters were superior solo to melees (except clerics, of course) and well played and adequately geared casters were far superior. The clown circus at Verant never did seem to figure this out. v0v
