Is monk vs warrior dps really classic right now?

And fisch, my logic is this: Post-nerf, Verant intended monks to take about 10% more damage than Warriors. Since Monks also get all sorts of toys like FD, they probably didn't intend Monks to do 100% more damage than warriors as well, which would make Warriors . . . kinda useless. Yet Monk damage was not nerfed. In fact I seem to remember reading somewhere that their intention was 1 / 1.2 / 1.4 warrior/monk/rogue (of course that doesn't mean they actually pulled it off, this is Verant after all).

I'm confused about the point of this thread. What is it you are getting at?

You said, "I find it really hard to believe monks are supposed to be doing twice the dps of warriors in classic EQ."

Does that mean that you expect/want monks to be changed on p99 right now, in the vein of "monks should be doing less damage relative to warriors here on p99 because that's how it was in classic"?

Or does that mean that you are pondering the intentions of the designers of classic eq, in the vein of "I wonder if the classic designers actually wanted monks to do as much damage as they ended up doing," but you don't actually expect/want anything to be done about it on here?

Or what?
