It's just that part of the reason I enjoy a wizard is because I know there isn't as many of us as there is of other classes. I can feel slightly more unique. Oftentimes I might be the only wizard available and that means I appear on someone's radar, however briefly.

But I suppose there is a reason there aren't as many wizards.

How many times are you going to die running oom as an enc vs. dying to a bad pet break?

Anyone not going max CHA high elf enc is just missing out on an opportunity to replace their pure CHA gear with beefier stat gear later on (think neriad shawl --> shawl of perception, vyemm gloves, etc). You have illusion spells, use them if you don't like the high elf look.
Just that higher int makes things easier at lower levels, and makes things easier to tradeskill. I do tradeskills on basically all of my characters and having my enchanter struggle as much as my melee classes really sucks. Before I can get to those vaunted OP charm levels I basically have to kill mobs like a mage, and that takes mana. How do you get past them without a good mana pool?
