i think that both sides are right about enchanters.
I'd say that back in the classic days, up thru luclin at least, the vast majority didn't understand everything about enchanters, the tactics, the spell combinations, the gear, even charisma.
I'd also say that enchanters on p99 are tuned a bit stronger than live classic era.
enchanters didn't have a monklybusiness or safehouse type website with in-depth and thorough information and forum discussion.
I do remember enchanters charming in groups and ultimately being asked to stop because of the liability, they all went down in 2 rounds.
I also remember being impressed at charm mob dps. so it could have worked, and im sure that there were some people who figured out you have gear like a CHA based melee class and to swap half your spells every 2 minutes.
then luclin hit and enchanters gained Dire Charm, and nobody ever thought about regular charm mechanics ever again. so that era of "classic charming" was over and gone before the casual player even got Spell: Allure
on p99 we've had like 12 years to study, learn and master, because it never changes. everything is reliably the same day in day out, and no xpac will come along to change that.
copy and sticky this post, and put an end the the discussion for good.
