Melee system in this game sucks really

I don't see how we can even relate any of these games to each other. EQ development's cycle and release took place before DAOC development barely started. Different experiences were already at play when DAOC, WOW, etc. came around.

EQ was the beginning of the MMO first person RPG so no one knew what to do other than really mimic DND/prior single player first person RPG combat.

There were combat abilities (Monk probably the strongest in that area) which were later expanded with disciplines in the early expansions before any of these other MMO's even entered the stage.
