From my experience back in the day, ENCs can but they are not the most efficient soloers. Pet is some free damage but you need to toss in a Tash Languid Pace, root and DOT to keep the mob rooted and dying. Even then every other fight you'll have a root break to deal with and an occasional add. At lower level pet soloing means sitting every fight. At mid levels it improves but at that point kiting mobs way out strips ENC in efficiency.

The at mid-levels with decent +CHA gear charm soloing becomes doable and improves an ENCs solo play. There will be an annoying run of breaks leading to a CR, so it carries a high risk. Still I have fond memories of charm soloing the giant guards in Velious.
Swishahouse seems to perform surprisingly well sharing the tanking between himself and his dagger-pet in troll form in his 30s. I might be mistaken, but troll form seems to give way more regen than it should.
