OP is a hater, I mean... Enchanter is classicly one of the most powerful classes in everquest. This trend continues not only through classic, kunark and velious. In luclin and Planes of Power they're even stronger. Later during and after omens of war they're so strong they can technically raid tank with the right buff loadout.
The part that's missing for many young enchanters however is it takes some skill to play the class to it's fullest. Enchanters wear cloth armour, so their AC is nothing to brag about. This gets a bit better in velious but not enough for the avg enchanter to do god level solo kills. An enchanter with some BiS velious raid gear, of ****ing course will do amazing on P99. HOWEVER compared to later Eras, calling them OP is a far shot.

False. In fact POP is when Enchanter charm gets nerfed as it had reached levels of absurdity currently seen on P99 from the start of classic. You can see classic era info of people crying when charm gets nerfed in POP.
It's exactly the same situation as P99 classic as well. Even the same people saying, you really didn't think being able to out damage entire groups was OP and needed to be nerfed?
This didn't happen until Velious and later and then was nerfed in POP. Classic Enchanter is literally a trash tier class that did not charm backstabbing mobs for groups EVER. Kunark Enchanter is a powerful class but not ridiculously overpowered due to the still existing risk of charming in tight areas and summoning mobs. Velious Enchanter becomes overpowered because the zone design allowed them to go into the highest level zones and no longer have that guaranteed chance of death due to inability to channel. Then once AAs are introduced Enchanter finally becomes similarly overpowered as classic P99 era.
Again it's not rocket science. All the evidence points to channeling being the issue and that is why charm usefulness was so heavily tied to the area and mobs it was being used on. Confined areas and dangerous mobs made it something that could work occasionally but more often than not would get you killed. It was just a roll of the dice for that "perfect" charm session in a bad spot with hard mobs. On P99 that roll of the dice is stacked in the Enchanters favor due to channeling being stupidly easy.
However, there are multiple proven bugs with Enchanter outlined earlier and all supported with evidence. Charm is just one. Saying over and over that there is no evidence doesn't make it true.
As I've said, over and over, just fix channeling and Enchanter will be fixed as well. No one should be arguing that channeling on P99 is classic. A level 1 channeling 50%+ of the time isn't classic and it has a HUGE impact on the difficulty of the game.
