9 damage kedge piercer (from the very first room) and vox spear both better piercers before planes

Oh sorry I should've been more clear, I wasn't commenting on what's BIS for piercing weps. I was more commenting on his other statements about gear progression through the expansions.

pre-kunark/planar an 8 dmg piercer is pretty good

it's the best back stabber until planar stuff

that's like saying imagine gearing up in plane of fear for many sleepless nights until ToV drops

the whole game was designed with the intention of retaining monthly paying customers, of course everything is gonna take forever to accomplish, if you got everything done in a month then you aren't gonna keep paying the subscription

this whole thread is a bad quest design

someone never played a classic rogue lmao

Fortunately most didn't get a chance to play the Real Classic Rogue with the complete package of no evasion "skill" to shed aggro. Maybe someone could have gotten the mistmoore dagger and really made him the deadest man on the server till evade fix.

I know people love the tunnel but originally, if i couldnt make it, quest it or loot it it was less attractive. I did buy things and was gifted stuff as well so its not like i was ssf or anything. But the questing/tradeskills (no matter how fucking useless) was what i was into.
No 3 week3 to lvl 50 for me! But as a woody druid i saw most of the game zones before my xp whore friends did. Headinf to zones before i could safely xp them was scarey/exciting to me. Snaring shit and kiting it for ages taught me how to sit on med ticks to perfection.
Also quests were something d&d did badly. Quest text was awesome, no matter the reward.

Duik actually plays EverQuest.

i subbed for a long time and even played eq forevre practically and never once looted an 8 dmg piercer or paid dkp for it

u can beat the game with a 7 dmg peircer or a gloompoon and some fletched bows if ur keen

anyway eq woulda retained more subs if they did a better job with the 1-60 content instead of just focusing on 60 content of a few zones, except SoE/verant had cut most of the staff after luclin except a few core ppl who got through pop and G-D and then it went down hill when they lost their core level designers to other things since they where too constrained at the studio.

or even velious rogue TBH

your entire life is auto attack, backstab, evade ad infinitum.

then open doors or drag corpses

also, it's worth mentioning for the 10,000th time that P99 rogues are invisible to ALOT more mobs than they were on live.

Even with the Shroud of Stealth AA, rogues on live were visible to many many more mobs then P99

That's interesting actually. Where'd you find the proof for that? Feel like that would be a really interesting read. Curious what mobs are nonclassic.
