Bard >= ench for outdoor charm solo (kill speed, safety margin, mobility, down time) if played well.

Bard charm soloing is definitely faster 1 mob vs 1 mob outdoors because of dots, but where an Enchanter really excels is having 2-4 mobs beating on their pet, killing pet with a lower level nuke, then recharming one of those 2-4 mobs and repeating. Granted, it's a lot easier to do in places like HS where mobs are bunched together, but it's doable in outdoor zones like DL as well.
While bard can go the solid 2+ hours without any downtime while charming, the 45+ minutes at the end of that it takes to regen all that mana at 2mana per tick sitting is just brutal if you're not in a zone that you can safely start travel song or hide, AFK, and walk away.
By far my least favorite part of leveling a bard 50-60 mostly charming was the super slow mana regen. It's a shame mana songs don't work on bards, would be so OP.
