Caster mobs are just grotesquely overpowered. Shaman mobs in particular, considering they'll slow you, dot/nuke you, debuff you, and heal themselves. It's one of the biggest design flaws of Everquest that caster mobs basically have the same HP and melee damage as warrior mobs while also casting spells more effectively than players and generally aren't subjected to channeling checks. Caster mobs are easily several times as hard as equivalent warrior mobs, and they're never worth killing for exp. I honestly can't imagine what Verant was thinking when they designed that.
