Yes, and ...? The game is clearly modeled on Kunark-era EQ. 2000-2001 was when I did the Instill Doubt (Intimidate) kiting. It is quite reasonable to believe that something possible on the live servers is also possible on 1999, even if there are noticeable differences in game behavior.

In fact, Intimidate was somewhat broken back in the day - you had to have your secondary attack unused for it to have any chance at all to proc. It's entirely possible the tactic would be easier on 1999.

Also, a wurm would pretty much gobble you up in about 30 seconds.

Depends on the wurm. There's a wide level range in Skyfire. Seafuries would be manageable at 59, but I'm thinking they'd be LB/Green.

Anyway, the assertion I was challenging wasn't whether a monk could do this regularly for XP, but whether a monk without equipment would be able to solo a DB at all. As I'd said, with Intimidate, you need some luck to keep up the fear, but nothing terribly rare.
