Just for velious and (especially) luclin boss fights? A very small subset of combat in that game. Even still, it didn't trivialize aggro control? DPS couldn't ever go all out. The onus was on the DPS to not screw up and flip the mob or it could wipe out the entire melee crew. Thats what is so astounding about dps in this game. They have an aggro meter, two in fact. They even come in colors like homeland security threat levels. Yet they still can't figure it out. What made the recent tanking so easy is that you were given tools that if you pressed the button, aggro was locked. I would definitely say EQ tanking was harder, but it was a shared responsibility. WoW changed that in peoples minds.
