As someone who plays an Enchanter and a Necromancer, I have a much easier time doing a lot of the same content on my Necromancer. I've also had other players tell me this in-game. It's a lot easier to grind farm on a Necromancer for a lot of things etc. even though Enchanters can do crazy stuff Necromancers can't.
I've solo'd both classes to 60 multiple times at this point. I can honestly say I've had more fun leveling an Enchanter than a Necromancer. I got a ton of value out of dark elf hide and the experience was so fast that it felt like I was PL'ing myself. I get fatigue really fast playing my Enc though because it requires so much more focus. Meanwhile I can log on a Necro without a care in the world and have a pretty easy time etc.
I think Lower Guk is a prime example. Enc and Necromancer can easily solo a lot of the dead-side content, but I think the Necromancer will probably have an easier / safer time doing so. Remember the first time I solo'd frenzied ghoul as a necromancer. Using charm too. Felt super trivial, not a care in the world. Enchanter on the other hand, I ended up gating out of fear for my life. Not having the extra damage, self heals, etc. led me to a pretty hairy during a charm break / ghoul root. Necro could have just life-tapped, but also with all the DoTs he has, kills mobs so much faster in that particular scenario that you don't feel in any serious danger.
Edit: Just remembered Mistmoore. My Enchanter almost died there. No high level mobs to charm, and enchanter pet is weak sauce. Meanwhile Necromancer pet can easily shred the entire zone.
