It's a fact that P99 is considerably easier than Pre-POP Live was.

Except for the bit where on live if you were backed into a corner only a bash landing would actually interrupt a cast.

Oh, and not related to channelling... Except for the bit where on live when you went LD, including via /q, you fought like an NPC (i.e. a paladin for example would hit far harder and a bit more often than when under your control.)

I avoided quite a few deaths soloing in LGuk on my live paladin during Velious era with those two tricks.

It's only the most OP classes that seem to benefit from the differences to live mechanics, afaict.
