Enchs really have no reason to cry over this.
I was already using a method leveling from 54-60 that isnt affected by the recent changes and the exp is a lot faster than regular charming.
I did this in HS for the most part and the exp was awesome.
Find a mob that's good to charm, i always used sepulcher or greater warbone skeletons in hs. Buff it up as good as you can (haste and ac buff), give it 2 weapons, and if they fixed armor stats on pets by now (i haven't played in a while other than VP) give him a haste mask (mages can summon these). Now you gotta find a good spot, or better you find the spot prior to charming and buffing your mob. The ramp in north wing is a good spot for that. Release your pet and root it, make sure you have rune up then release - stun - root .
Now you start charming other mobs and send them into your "rootmob" until they are at like 2% hp, release them and finish them off with a nuke. I highly recommend you to get a
Goblin Gazughi Ring for the instant charm break clicky, after a bit of training i managed to break the mobs at 0-1% hp so i was able to use a lower lvl nuke to finish them off, saves some mana. Whenever your "rootmob" gets low on hp you get out of aggro range and memblur the mob so it regens 5 % (?) a tick. I actually mem blurred my mob everytime i went pulling (it doesnt always work, but when you do it after each fight your mob is basicly always full hp). I recommend after each fight you refresh your root, then mem blur and go pull the next mob. Make a timer for haste so everytime your haste worns off you retash/recharm the rootmob and refresh haste.
This strat has a lot of advantages over normal charming:
- You dont need to carry a lot of weapons with you, since your charmed mob is always the same, its enough to have 2 weapons with you for hour-long exp sessions
- Its a very safe way to exp, once you get used to it, just dont forget to keep re-rooting
- Your mob does a ton more damage than a charmed pet cause its not a pet, it always dual wields and its always hasted, it will never turn against you given you dont forget to keep root up
- If you use a sepulcher or gw skeleton (or any mob that has mana) you can use theft of thought on them, all the time, which makes your mana pretty much infinite
- If you fight a caster you can interrupt each of its casts by letting it sit when it starts casting
Strat works also for most nameds, as long as you can charm them. I easily solo'd verix in KC with that strat at lvl 58 or 59. If you fight a named id debuff and slow them prior to charming.
If the devs get around to fix pet drops (so your pet drops the stuff you give him, when you kill it) you could also carry around a set of neg MR gear to give your "rootmob" and loot it when you are done exping. If you can, root a mob right at his spawnpoint (works perfect with the corner mob at ramp at HS north), so if your root ever breaks while you are out pulling, the mob will just stay at his spot (because you mem blurred it before you went pulling). Oh and to check if mem blur worked you can simply move around an see if the mob is still facing you or not. If he isnt facing you, mem blur worked, also if the mob regen's 5% a tick.
Given this still works, and im pretty sure it does, enchs have no need to QQ about exp, you can prolly solo faster than anyone else

Remember
mem blur only works if you are out of aggro range while casting it ! If you are too close you will re-aggro the mob instantly and prevent him from regen!
