It might been misunderstood at the time how/why things work on EQ. A lot of players had misconceptions back then about how the game mechanics worked. It may be that they saw that Knights did less dmg or parsed worse, but they may not have been accounting for fact that in groups Knights more often than not are required to Tank and they will spam spells a lot to hold aggro. A knight won't do melee damage while casting spells, so this would reduce their parsed DPS. Rangers on the other hand are more likely to have been put in a DPS roll which requires minimal spell use or even use of spells that do damage, IE Nukes, Dots.
Yes yes agree, its no good to direct compare knights dps, cos sometimes they went to trash tank, "protect chanters" they are not always doing dps when rangers are mainly doing dps or cast 1 or 2 jolt/cotp if asked
i'll try to find some log that is "no trash tanking no buffing mainly dpsing" when home [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
