If it could have been abused like this, folks would have kicked and screamed. Chanter was a group support class back then.

See now people on P99, in their defense of Chanters, most commonly use the lines of "we just didn't have as much knowledge back then" and "we were less skilled at the game."
But here's the thing: all the knowledge we DO have now is the result of experimentation back then. On Tallon Zek we had a large number of extremely capable players at the endgame.
I played a Wizard in Vanilla and spent *LOTS* of time in the computer lab @ school on Everlore and Castersrealm. Like you said, if Enchanters (specifically Charm) was as powerful back then, it absolutely would have been nerfed. At the VERY LEAST the strength of the spell would have become common knowledge.
Are we supposed to believe that no Chanters in the top-end guilds like FOH and Triton ever experimented with their Charm Spells and/or Charisma builds? They figured out essentially EVERYTHING else about the game but never realized that Charm was overpowered?
I don't buy it!
