But by that logic ANY player will have 60 levels of practice on whatever character they choose. Loraen's guide shows, to the best of his ability, what a class is CAPABLE of. You can still have complete morons and absolute gods that will take a class to the extremely horrible and great, respectively.

I consider myself a pretty good swimmer.. but at the same time.. I wouldn't challenge Michael Phelps to a race.. In statistics he would be called an outlier.. Setting the scale to an outlier is ridiculous, because for one it diminishes the achievement of the person who accomplished it. By saying "This is what every <: insert class here :> is doing" and secondly it sets a skewed perspective for the person using the guide. (read: a new player)..

With respect to taking more enchanters in groups. The only 2 spots in a group I wouldn't give to Enchanters (in a 6-man group) is the healer (torpor sham or cleric) and bard (me, because I'd want in). 4 ENC with hasted pets are going to outdps e'rybody. And if Alarti wants to come in here and talk about Avatar and PE, let the shaman toss that on the pet (and pray it doesn't destroy the enc when it breaks).

If you really want to hear it again.. In an average group.. with average enchanters.. Not the ones that are in the top 20% of the server.. Would you take an extra enchanter over a rogue? I know most other players on this server wouldn't..
Subnote: I do like enchanters.. I do appreciate that they are one of the most powerful character classes with their abilities to charm, block damage, mez, and stun..
I also know that not every uber-skilled player really wants to participate in the solo artist challenge and that a skilled alternate class is just as useful as an equally skilled enchanter in a group.. I've seen one bard turn an entire group from a failure to a success.. and the same with every other class..
That being said, The point still needed to be made that certain classes were out of whack.. I agree that it's a good reference point, but now it's a bit more accurate..
As I said before though.. Every class is situational, and has their own things that they do better than every other class.. (cept maybe paladins and shadowknights, they're kind of balanced in a lot of aspects)
