Plenty of people have misunderstandings about small details of the game. It is normal. This is especially true when people's memories get mixed up between P99 and live.
Some people think ATK doesn't increase your max damage (it does), not everybody knows that hate is generated on both a hit and a miss for melee attacks, etc.
That is why people ask other players on the forums for information, even if they have played for a long time. There is a lot to learn about EQ, which is one of the fun things about the game.

I’m all for learning and teaching. Much of EQ falls into dogma though, recycled over the years with the applied confidence of a misspelled tattoo. Not accounting for timeline patches or modern application of tactics.
The MH/OH myth is just a funny one because you can test it with a level 1 monk and a Fire Beetle eye. Some people would rather argue on Discord than log in and know for certain.
As an aside, my presumption is that Naethyn meant maxed skill, str, level. A Meljeldin at 60 hits for a max of 275; with Avatar you just do a lot more hits on the upper end of the spectrum.
