Your forced to rely on charming vs summoning mobs, do you have any idea how fast this can go south before you can recover, you literally have 0% margin for error. One charm break your dead. You cannot use the shaman pet to tank, and it's a pain in the ass to have the shaman tank. If the enc pet dies there is no heals in the world that are gonna keep the enc up, and you cant afford to heal the enc when the shaman is main tanking and the enc is gonna need a charmed pet for dps.
IF YOU HASTE THAT CHARMED PET YOUR ARE LITERALLY GUARANTEEING THE ENCHANTERS DEATH ON CHARM BREAK.
Much safer letting a fully shaman buffed 3.5k+ hp emissary of thule pet tank with avatar on a slowed mob.
And when something does go wrong the very first time it's over, your done for the nite because your bodies are now buried dead in a dungeon that will take you forever to get back down to naked, if you can even pull that off.
Meanwhile the necro can feign death when something goes wrong and rez the shaman back and start over like nothing even happened.
But enc/shaman, mage/cleric are much better for clearing trash or getting to a mob quicker, but nasty as hell mobs that summon aren't gonna be possible for these two combos.

Go check out the blue solo artist challenge thread. Enchanters can successfully solo so much of this stuff. Bout the only thing that could get dicy is trying to duo fungus king in Seb.
Necro/Sham is going to be powerful and arguably would be a much simpler leveling route (since optimal speed for an enchanter requires charming, while necro/shaman can have great speed without charming) but it is not going to touch an enchanter+shaman. Enchanter is hands down the most OP class in the game for PvE content in this era and a shaman is going to give a huge boost to that ability with its buffs/debuffs.
I love necro, it's a fun and veristile class (i've got 3 of them afterall..), but I'm not going to pretend having undead only charm/lull and powerful DoTs is going to overcome the benefits of unrestricted charm/lull with AOE mez/stuns when sniping high value nameds.
