Not really. For invis pulling, arguably, but you have to remember it was about the only non-gimped thing we had. Ever. To that point. God forbid a class get one piece of unique gear that let's them do one thing better than other classes. The CoS gave us flexibility with our FD, which was inferior to monks' and helped with pulling. oooo ahhhh that's so OP.

At that time hybrids had penalties compounded with other penalties. The CoS actually solidified a role for us for once. If the CoS was OP,
then so were half the classes, and several of the epics.

It is a common myth that it was nerfed because it was OP. It wasn't. It was nerfed so rogues could "evade" in pvp on SZ. Because that became Brad McQuade's pet project that summer and, once again, he had to fuck it up for everybody with his moronic "nerf everything to fix things" mentality with everything he touched, as if one class evading on one pvp server is important, anyway. If it was truly OP they would have outright nerfed the item, but they didn't. Just the drop.

As it happens I'm still using mine that I looted during Kunark on my live SK now.

Haha, tables as an SK must have taken 10+ minutes per kill. It was all about duoing CoD with a paladin or Water with a shaman. On the plus side, I was able to solo Trak, Talendor, Gore, Sev, and Zlandicar during the 65 era - SKs were really good in old content.

While I actually like Vanguard and hated to see it fail, the vindictive dick that I am, I, personally, chuckle when I think of the original verant team eating it the way they did. Karma is a bitch and he and his boys caught it good with that one. Most of them got fired in the parking lot. And I hope one of them was that fat fucking nerd Abashi, who was the gerbels of the original game. He was an asshole and, clearly, enjoyed every bit of it. To put a person like that in charge of community relations and to allow him to behave the way he did is inexuseable. He abused his position to harrass players, showed nothing but contempt for the playerbase in general and there were even examples of abuses towards the volunteer server guides. I hope he never got another job in gaming after that, because he didn't deserve a career after his behavior...Unless it was with Sigil and got canned in the parking lot with everyone else because that gives me warm fuzzies to consider. Fuck that asshole. Fuck all of them, frankly. When they were on top they chose to treat their customer base with nothing but contempt and I, personally, have no sympathy for any of them. Yes, it was that bad.

Abashi loved to call me out personally on the forums, but I never held anything against him personally.

The funniest thing is when people say they played during classic and there were "hardly any rangers and paladins"...

Nope... they were both very popular. Like daaaamn popular: surprised I ever got an epic.
