I don't remember monks being able to tank 20+ years ago.

RREAALLY the project should be turned over to new hands IMO. let the OG devs retire and give it up to some young kids who really care about classic like it was supposed to be

Axzten at the top of thta list

Groups in classic typically camped even to yellow con mobs whereas modern optimal groups camp the absolutely lowest level mobs they can find that still con blue. This could skew tanking memories.

I'll be honest, my monk was so squishy that I never really had a situation where I was asked to tank or expected to be able to, lol. I remember groups falling apart if our tank left.

I'm not bashing OP, so don't take it the wrong way.

But why is it when people post on the 'Bugs' forum, it's always 'This [cool thing that everyone loves] shouldn't exist. I found evidence that this [really beloved thing] isn't classic.

It never goes the other way.

I swear it's like some people get off on shitting on other people's parades.

You know what I found out that's Classic? Uh, everyone is awesome and should get a free blowjob. Found it on an Allakazam post circa 1999.

I'm not actually calling for any nerfs though. I just mained the class, and it's something I wondered if other people noticed. When I first played P99, I thought it was identical to original EverQuest, I had no idea that there were differences between it and the original until years after I had been playing it. And I remember thinking "dang, I didn't know Monks could tank this well" and wondered why I spent so much time searching for tanks for my groups instead of just doing it myself 20+ years ago.

But then as I become more familiar with the community, and read the forums and reddit more, and even talk to people on TLP, there's a lot of people pointing out that there are a lot of differences between the original version of the game and P99, it makes me wonder if Monks on P99 are just way tankier than they used to be?

I genuinely remember retiring my Monk for my Rogue because I felt like they were both just DPS classes and that he Rogue dealt better DPS, but on P99, it's very easy to see why someone would play a Monk over a Rogue. I didn't feel like the advantage Monks had over Rogues was that significant back in the day; it just felt like they were squishy DPS who had Mend and FD, which made them safer to play in most situations.

rogues where a bit too strong too butt they where innappropriately nerfed in some ways and buffed in others idk what else to say

wizards are weaker than they should be

and necros feel pretty good a bit week in the lower lvls but it sorts itself out (mana is probably wrong on here too)

definately resists are still NOT right

What are the differences you notice between Rogues? It's what I mained 20+ years ago, so I would be curious. I haven't actually played one on P99. I do feel like Monks out-damaging Rogues or dealing equal damage as Rogues is not accurate, lol.

I also remember Wizards being a big deal back in the day, but IDK how good they actually were? I just remember being a kid and reading about how much damage Ice Comet did and being shocked by it. I also think the first character on the news because it sold for big $$$ on ebay was a Wizard, if I recall? I could probably look up the old article, but I remember my parents just assuming that since I played the game that I could start making thousands of dollars and it's like dawg, it's not that easy. Especially when y'all make me go to bed at 9 o clock, and I gotta go to school and crap.
