To those trying to find logic in what is included/not included in the classic experience on P1999 - just stop. For the most part, the classic portion of P1999 is completely decided by the devs. For example, the magician summoned sword "sword of rune" should proc on non-elemental mobs when given to a pet - this happened all the way to kunark. However, this isn't so on P1999. On live, this was likely an unintended problem. However, there are a lot of "unintended" problems in classic that some would call "the classic experience" and others call "bugs that should have never existed."
In some respects, the line is drawn arbitrarily by the devs. If you don't like it, go cry. Devs have made it clear over and over they don't give a crap about anybody who plays.
