petty post, its a well know issue every class have his strong points and hard points.

AA system adressed the fact eq class where in a dead end and provided a excellent service to make every class more unique depending the work of each user.
in the case of magician in luclin the most ignore by most of them was how good was their pet heal spell wich focus would turn into a 1300 heal .

Ranger in velious was the most changed class overall with their whole set of atk buffs, and later in luclin even more upgraded by aas .

Back then Ranger popularity grew up due mainly to stupid add character Drizz do urden , and several people(even absor) being fans of salvatore.

Mages have no reason to complain in p99 , pre kunark their pets where not the classic magician pets (wich where kinda bad at time) while the necromancers never got their real 49 pet of doom.

I love playing my mage, I know that they have great pets and that every class is gimped somewhere. I wasn't complaining, just opening a discussion about what people thought would have been cool changes for classes in Classic EQ.

note im not bashing but the issue of cc for magician 50+ was aswell deal with the following item

classic mages who needed to use root where enough smart to carry a whole backpack of cliky nets from permafrost aswell and recharging them .

my question is , your post is for solo or group, because then it open a can of posibilitys to very critic answers.

im sorry to say this post remember me so much to monk crys about they could not pull nothing in luclin , pop . then they got monk luls, but it just turned monks who actualy could pull mobs by fd split wich would not be afected by them even harder to find.

There comes a point in a bards life, much like a shaman, when he/she needs to stop with the melee and stick to casting

I don't want to hear anyone whine about their class being underpowered unless they leveled a paladin to 60 pre-velious. Pre-velious paladins were worse tanks than rogues and monks with more HP, stuns and root. Once celestial cleansing and the defensive upgrades came out, paladins were a lot better, but pre-velious, they got the shaft hard.

Planes of Power more than made up for it, though. Slay undead + high damage weapon was insane.
