The other big issue is quality of life features missing. You don’t have a pet window so you have to use /pet report health if you don’t want to have to alternate selecting your pet and it’s target 100 times per fight to check health totals for charm breaks

The other big QOL feature missing is no tab cycling, which is an absolute nightmare for grouping. Normally controlling a train on Blue would involve hitting /assist [tank], then [tab] to target next enemy -> mez -> [tab] to target next enemy -> mez. Repeat until all mobs are mezzed. But that shit ain’t classic, and classic EQ had shit UI and shitty quality of life. That means having to click to target enemies in the giant clusterfuck of spell effects and flailing limbs, where enemies with the exact same name can be standing literally inside each other’s bodies. Meanwhile the entire group is running around like chickens with their heads cut off looking at you like “HEY YOU GONNA DO SOMETHING?” as the train of 6 mobs with identical names rips them apart

No tab target cycling is what people have told me was the specific reason they either didn’t roll one, or quit their enchanter on green

Edit: I stressed mobs with identical names because I am a very fast typer and have used the command /tar [mob name, you don’t need to type the full name just like the first 3 letters] to target a specific mob in a clump of mobs before to mez/root. But this nifty trick doesn’t work when all mobs have the same name. Then all you can do is use whatever you have hot keyed to target the closest thing and try to click on everything else. Or run around to position yourself so a different mob becomes the closes thing so you can target it with the target closest mob hotkey. There is no tab cycle target hotkey function on green
You forgot the biggest one. Duck casting.
