P99 Classic vs Original Classic

[Raj]

PS if raid loots or epics arent equippable anymore at level 1, they certainly were for years and years on the Beta(Blue) server.

I think this might be one of the reasons that Monks seem so OP on P99. 20 years ago Luclin and PoP came out super fast, so you probably didn't have a lot of Monks with Fungi Tunics or Haste Items. It felt like most monk mains (I had a high level Monk as one of my main characters) were too poor to afford any decent loot really. But I just never felt tanky, which is why I ultimately mained a Rogue.

I still think P99 may have Monk's tankiness wrong though because I remember leveling with Bebquix during the early days of P99 Green and they were wearing cloth armor and had no haste item or jewelry and were able to main tank pretty much 1-50. (I was their healer; me and Bebquix aren't the same person). On my Monk I never felt like a Tank, in the moments where our tanks would DC I would be lucky not to die trying to tank a single mob, and I was kind of a twink, had Frolok Crown, Azure Sleeves, Granite Bracer, Gatorscale Leggings, FBSS etc. during a time period where that gear was still fairly renowned.

IDK.

I personally never understood the whole "Monks are OP" claim.

My Monk has a Fungi Tunic, Seahorse haste, solid HP/AC gear, T-Staff, etc and I can barely solo to save my life.

I dunno, maybe I'm just expecting too much out of the little guy.

In all fairness, there have probably been at least a handful of characters or more wearing ToV loot that have been deleveled to level 1 to re-level as virtual EQ gods to be the ultimate P99 twinks. Lol

Stay strong my friends! It's almost the weekend! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can only delevel to 4 not 1

But 60s cant be deleveled to 4. Thank your for the correction on that. 4 is pretty close to 1! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They're like warriors. Except they do twice the dps. Can Heal themselves on a short cooldown. And solo pull any mob they want.

Is block too good or AC softcap too high?
