Offtank parties have been im my opinnion overpowered for quite some time.
With good combinations and members atleast i was able to hit 50-80k rates with
3-4man parties at best.
Down tuning barsoomian's was on it's way, and good decision, improved weapon
speed bane nerfed 'debatable' tune perhaps.

But in general offtanks still hit alot harder before the whole battle system
change for weapon speeds and stuff.
Before judging that the whole 'offtank' scenario is fucked, i would suggest
people to try something new instead
of filling all slots with max dam equipments.
A: mixing defensive items + offu gear might be even wise now?, mounts?, hybrid
combinations?
B: for those barb/ranger types selecting difrent types of monster or making
effort to have good hpr sets might still make it playable.
C: personally ive noted making offu for solo bit more defenseable has made up
the lack of 'dmg' when soloing now.
save
PS: these tunes have been kinda hard to getting used to after being uber
roksor weapon speeded melee barso monster etc
but in a way i like it alot and see it's good for the game, i came to this
conclusion since other races are viable for as offtank
races and not just barsos, difrent combinations of guilds and equipment
atleast for me have opened not just the
basic full dmg set and best weapons for offu.
thanks. and sorry for the long mail.

How about those kick ass mages who can do 60-90k rate in 3man parties? How was
this really justified. Now offtanks can go sulk in the corner while these
mages who can easily do exp/eq anything have it _all_. Some good offtank
option dont really work for eq honestly.
