Out of curiosity, what do the big melee classes feel like at endgame?
Because I only recently have had any melee characters, I wonder if the big melee characters actually feel powerful at 60. For example does a warrior feel like a badass at 60 in terms of damage and tanking or do only casters ever feel like they can handle really tough stuff?
I always thought melee classes couldn't handle barely a low blue at 60 and essentially rely on a caster to help them kill anything.. Basically, Warriors, Rangers, Monks, Rogues, Pally, SK.. How high a typical mob can you kill at maximum gear? | ||

Low starting intelligence. Any more questions?

Classic is caster heaven. I haven't played EverQuest beyond Velious, but the most powerful classes through Velious are casters. No melee class can solo the things that geared Shamans, Enchanters, Necros, and Mages can. And that's not even taking into consideration the kiting capabilities of Bards, Druids, and Wizards. I'm just talking about the ability to stand in one spot and solo a named or a camp. The only melee class that can somewhat compete with the casters is SK, but that's only because they can avoid taking damage by fear kiting.

I had a warrior with full Plane of Time gear on live that felt super badass. I would solo seb a lot just to feel powerful. In classic, though, warriors are a grouping class. Other melee classes are bit less extreme, but still casters are at another level in terms of soloing.

On Blue my monk twink felt super powerful. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) twinking a Melee character is not as effective in classic. You really need like kunark/velious era gear to start feeling powerful.
ALTHOUGH. I feel like a Paladin with Ghoulbane in LGuk May feel pretty sweet. (I have never done it myself) | ||
