High-end Velious itemization basically breaks EQ PvP. Melees with maxed out resists and +100 HP in every slot are ridiculously OP vs. similarly geared casters. This is why the ideal classic PvP box would either flat-out stop at Kunark or only implement a "light" version of Velious: have your three outdoor zones each with a dungeon IC (ToFS), EW (CC), GD (Velks) then Thurgadin and Kael (minus AoW/Statue). So no high-end Velious raid gear. Velk, Dain, Tormax and Vindi would be the big targets and melees would be geared out in mostly Thurg armor. So you add in a lot of new content but remove most of the ridiculous mudflation that occurs with ToV-tier gear. PvP remains more balanced and fun, and Kunark and Classic raid targets still remain highly relevant.
