Monks and Rogues actually had it the hardest on the boxes with item loot in classic.
If we ignore the fact that the melee system was completely separate from what it was on live on all previous boxes, Warriors actually had it best. There's a lot (and I do mean a lot) of very easily accessible MR gear for Warriors in classic. My MR as a monk couldn't even compare to a lot of them, and I was fucking stacked. My tits were huuuuuuge. Rakusha cloaks n' shit. Them shits were ballllllller.
We all did the full JC stuff too, but SSB (Tranix later on as well), Runed Bone Fork, Mithril arms and legs, etc. went to Warriors.
Most of the time people were stacking DS potions with normal DS's though, so 1hand classes were getting railed for 39 dmg a hit.
Monks and Rogues don't really come into their own until Kunark. If you're diligent and smart with decent gear (10+ dmg piercers and decent haste), they can be pretty viable in classic. But for the most part, you're at a disadvantage. Warriors were seriously retarded good on older boxes. Rogues and Monks did output some serious DPS in PvE though.
