What would you change about classic mechanics?

I myself like the harshness of old school eq. Yall can have your "class balance" and mounts, and AA's. Too much of that in new Gen games. No thanks.

I'm all for subtle imbalance. It's hard to make everything on par with eachother given different play styles, that's why starcraft and starcraft 2 are so revered, completely different play styles in extremely intricuite games with relatively amazing balance between them. However, some classes decisions in EQ are straight up unfair.

Which classes would you say are unfairly weak?

Assassinate should be a discipline.

Trainable at lvl 1.

Remove complete heal and completely re-tune the game without it.

Completely revamp the resistance system and make a lot of bad guys hit with different damage types so that melees are concerned about their resists to mitigate damage while tanking. Give paladins large innate resistances (possibly SK's too) so that you actually have to make strategic decisions into what kind of tank you want for a particular encounter (high AC or high resists, etc.).

Open up some more class race combos, make ranger DPS on par with monks, reduce ticks to 3 seconds.

Cheese. And noodles.

Cheese and noodle mechanics are terrible on this server.
