I don't recall that to be the case, in fact, I remember it being completely OP. It stacked with Guardians avoidance and there was no cap so you could peek around 70-80% if memory serves. We struggled for a while without the extra avoidance than finally claimed a top 5 WW Darathar kill (despite having to sit out a full lockout b/c of a bug). Argg.

I believe we used the same setup to WW1 Nagalik too.

Guard + Troub + Templar + Templar + Illusionist + patience = 1 group domination

I'd play on a server that was patched up to KoS pre-diminishing returns.

Inquisitor was pretty godly. Although not necessarily in the MT. I use to "exploit" redemption so I could solo-heal raids with no mana.

You know something is wrong when you have troubador and warden together and the troubador ends up with 100% avoidance.... it wasn't even a challenge.

Nothing like pulling half of permafrost and all it can do is swing and miss.

How about an EQ2 progression server?

Honestly if they wanted to rebalance the whole game, loot mobs everything from the ground up with the help of a progression server I would be all down. I think a progression server would be fun in general but rebalancing the whole game's loot and mobs to feel more smooth and natural would be a smart idea as well.

Are we talking a Progressive-style server like EQ1? Basically take all the fixes and shit, but restrict the expansions? Yeah, I might play that. Only problem is we already know the best gear is Mastercrafted until tier 7 (and even a bit into tier 7).

Are we talking a pre-LU13 revert? FUCK NO.
