Well, this won't be an uncivil conversation in any case. I'm just putting it out there how nice it would be to have kunark as the devs would have done it had they realized ahead of time, and how they ended up doing it later.
I think iks DO have a flat or percent armor bonus at low levels, and have a higher cap at 40, but that bonus isn't linear and I don't remember what we worked it out to be. I barely remember this stuff, it's been so long. I also had a source once tell me that iks had an adjusted damage table (damage reduction) vs dragons, but that was refuted by another source - so take it as rumor. Quote:

So much of EQ's changes came from hindsight tho.
Many were very much needed, others really dumbed down EQ... The problem is where do you draw the line on which ones to say "it should have been done this way" or "that was a stupid change". Its going to vary based on peoples opinions of said change. Where do you draw the line? I for one think instanced raid zones were on of the best things to happen to the game. It changed eq from you HAVE to be available from 8pm to 1am just in case the mob spawns to we will raid X zone starting at 8pm wednesday, Y zone starting 8pm thursday, and friday we will finish up in case we didnt finish and do some older stuff starting at 8pm.Made it a lot easier to have a life outside of the game. I raided from late velious to OoW, I had little time to do anything other than school and EQ. Now that I have a family and what not it makes it a lot easier to raid (which is why i really play MMO's) since i can put down when i will be raiding on my schedule, and not randomly be called to LOG IN NAO! Numerous people think instanced zones are what ruined the game. Holy tangent, but I think I made my point. | ||

I wish I had links to give ya bro, and by no means take what im saying as the hands down fact...Im pulling from my memory banks here, tho I stand by the fact that Fozzul was able to tank any situation I was ever in with him just fine pre-velious...
I think the biggest issue that alot of Iksar warriors had was the fact they waited till 60 to go get the hate armor, this is where you guys are penalized the worst....you have to stop actively grinding xp to go farm this gear to effectively tank lvl50+ kunark dungeons, that part I do 100% agree with you on..... cause other tanks can still use crafted /cobalt post50 to continue to lvl60 where as iksars are forced to get the hate upgrades asap to contend, tho the iksar will be the better tank leveling after he acquires the gear, out tanking other warriors that have already acquired full Indo~ I was happy to not post anymore, but you have to keep making intelligent non-offensive post........lol ;o | ||

That's what everyone always says, and yes it is nice, but I had a RL friend that played gnOme warrior pre-kunark and was MT plenty of times and never had a problem, so its more preference then anything imho
I used my RL friend as gnOme warrior as a example cause they're probably the most lacking race when it comes to tanking as a warrior regardless of gear till velious where stats start to really hit caps | ||

Should rangers be made a more valueable class right now too, since they sucked in classic + kunark but obviously verant didn't intend for them to suck? edit: Quote:

RFS will end up not being so much of a boon, because of what verant did. They retroactively changed the item, and because the timeline here is accelerated that will mean it only gets used briefly.
Same with the moss covered - but, I don't know if 2h damage is calculated the 'old way' or 'new way' in the eqemulator. (new way being that 2h bonus is based on dps, rather than flat damage, I think) That being said, the timeframe between kunark and velious will be (should be) a lot shorter here than it was in live, so the issue may take care of itself.
