Enchanter questions and concerns

Gunda_G · #1 08-11-2014, 11:04 AM

Hey all,

So I recently decided to make a Dark Elf Enchanter as my 1st character back - I've never played a chanter or a dark elf before. I chose this race because of the ability to Hide and because I like dark elves in general. I'm a little worried I'm making my life difficult, though.

Can I get into most good cities using illusions? I'm concerned that being a dark elf is going to make life difficult if I move far away from Neriak at a low level. Besides the ability to hide, is there any reason why a dark elf would be better than a high elf for the Enchanter class or is it just personal preference? I'm level 4 now and want to make sure I know what I'm getting myself into.

Thanks in advance for your replies!

yea you will be fine most of the time .. certain guild factions within cities will still hate you so just con your way to be safe

I think you just want to make sure you've chosen Agnostic. That's my understanding, at least.

You'll be fine with illusions if your religion is agnostic. If it's not agnostic, it will be trickier. No huge differences between the enchanter races other than hide (although racial hide is not very reliable). There are stat differences; the important stats are INT and CHA.

Good news, I went with Agnostic as my religion. I think I did +20 INT and +10 CHA or +25 INT and +5 CHA. Did I screw up? The wiki page for Enchanters said there's constant debate about which allocation is best but doesn't give a definitive answer for what dark elves should do.

It will make no major difference in the end.

Make sure you're agnostic for religion, but yes between illusions, invis, and alliance/collaboration, you can go pretty much anywhere.

Great thanks guys,

I went with agnostic, and just ventured over to EC last night from Neklutos Forest. Will be sticking with Dark Elf, send me a tell in-game if anyone wants to group up and thanks for the help!

Always go with the stat that gives you more mana. More mana means less time waiting for med and more mobs getting killed. Gear to raise other stats is pretty easy to come by.

Not even remotely accurate.

Depth of your mana pool is only really useful on raids (burn) or difficult solo encounters. Everyone regens mana at the same rate meaning in an experience situation the additional mana is spread out over the duration of the session making it imperceptibly small. It is only useful if you're going to burn it all at once which is IMO not how enchanters level.

My enchanter on red JUST got a loam cloak - serious upgrade from cloth and it made literally no difference in my life.
