I guess it’s no wonder people come here with an opinion on stats or classes and are pummeled with esoteric knowledge and dogma but never cave. It’s a very math heavy game but most the math is behind Oz’s curtain so much of it just feels like opinion.

Back in the early days of EQ, people used to think Harmony was a mana regen buff. It doesn't say what it does, but you can cast it on players (or could at the time, I don't know if that ever changed) and some just figured it must be a buff. You'd hear remarks from people who felt sure that they could see their mana regenerate faster with Harmony on.

There was also a widespread belief in the anti-camp radius wherein sitting too close to a mob's spawn location would cause it to respawn slower. People would swear that was a thing and would argue heatedly about how they had proven it through extensive testing.

Don't know what extensive testing they did but just a timer for a couple rounds would have proven them wrong. This is some flat earther level bullshit haha.

I mean, it was long before smartphones and you couldn't even alt-tab out of the original EQ client. Unless someone literally sat there with an actual stopwatch in hand, it was kinda hard to test exactly how long it took for a mob to respawn.

You could just watch a sundial and substract minutes on your abacus.

Tracking time before the year 2005? Unheard of.

SK / PAL with a Willsapper really strong.....

Monk.... kind of obvious
Warrior has a lot of toys to help solo (truncheon / willsapper) and access to some lifetap weapons going to require way more gear and still probably not be as good as SK/PAL/MNK thou
