im pretty sure that was patched out, relatively quickly. not something that lasted any significant length of time. Probably because it was a dumb idea to begin with. Not as if necros even need to fear kite anyways, can just root rott, though it's slower cause pet can't participate. Funny thing with eq comparisions is the game spanned such a massive length of time, with revolving door of DEV's and studios.. the game never stayed the same for long, so people have these fragmented memories of things that may or may not have happend, like a patch that implemented this and quickly got reversed, if that was the only time you played, or quit in, you might think it was that way forever.
