But you're wrong about one thing. EQ classic is not designed for the players or by today's MMO standards where if warlocks bitch enough pre expansion launch they get a blanket 10% buff across the board.
Back in the day the decisions were made by one or two people to suit the desires of the devs. With the input of maybe their enchanter buddy on test, maybe taken into consideration.
If the devs from the Verant days saw how charm, channeling, and lulls where used herei. P99, and memblurs. They would have been nerfed into the ground.
Necromancer should be top classic class, followed closely by druids in popularity and shamans in actual power.
Ench, wiz, and mages all fell about equal in power. Because the Froglok King, Fungus King, whatever have u would've literally sliced them all to shreds with three attacks even with runes.
Necromancers where the only class that could reliably get single mobs rooted and parked and murdered with dots and pets.
Charm sucked. It was a gimmick, always intended to be a gimmick.

Sometimes ppl got lucky with charm and lull but it was never used for serious leveling by the majority. Mostly by well geared high end Enchanters to push what they could do, or with the help of friends. Much like ppl using wort pots, root nets, and strings to gimmick solo.
Anything anyone does on p99 with these gimmicks doesn't at all compare to classic in anyway.
They're p99 feats of strength and definitely overdue for some consideration.
