I find this extremely interesting. I think the biggest issue we have with this server right now is AC not functioning correctly. AC is supposed to be the god stat of classic EQ, and it just does not seem this way here. I did an AC test on the undead foreman (L50) and my L60 Enchanter was hit for like 85 and my L60 Warrior for like 75 on average. Now the warrior has a bit more avoidance and some defensive skills like parry, but I still feel that one of the biggest reasons you see enchanters and shamans and such soloing like crazy is that the mobs aren't 'crunching' them enough.

Actually I looked back at my test and this is indeed wrong. My enchanter was taking about 40 dps vs the Foreman while my warrior was taking about 20 (the hits are right, but my enc was hit just about every time while the warrior was missed more, in addition to riposte/etc). So I suspect this may have been an artifact of the iksarness (high avoidance ac, low mitigation ac).

What about plane of sky?

I've posted several threads about Sky and nothing has happened, so I guess it just isn't a high priority.
