Is there any evidence that Rogues could solo backstab in original EQ?

Yeah. I believe the issue is that each caster mob had their own subset of spells. That subset could include the worst DD/DoT the mob could cast ... or it might not. As a result, many caster mobs were much easier on live, because they didn't use their full "toolkit".

They also seems smarter here? Could just be an artifact of what you describe, but I swear their rotations are better as well. For example, as I run through Kunark zones, random frog shamans will hit me with root -> blind -> dots in that order.

I killed like 60 CS sirens (ench) during last christmas and I paid close attention because I tried to interrupt the most annoying ones and it seemed to be random. Most were fans of dispell/slow but some didn't bother. Some chain nuked and some didn't at all. While the DOT seemed on the rarer side (as opposed to shamans/SKs) most casters/healers seem to love dispel though. Now that I think about it I don't remember them rooting/stunning/mezzing/blinding so its not "the entire spellbook".

I think the rotation is fairly limited so you're bound to see the same ones come back often and get some nasty sequences.
