enc/clr Duo Charm question

[Kileras]

Hi all, just a newbie question.

1) should we be able to efficiently duo charm blues at lvl 14 as enc/clr (non twinked)?

We are having a ton of trouble keeping mana even doing blues. The charm breaks quite frequently, mana gets depleted fast just from tash/charm/root. We aren't even slowing currently. CLR is also constantly LOM just from casting a heal now and then on the pet, trying to keep things rooted, and the duo buffed up at all.

we started the duo because charming seems really fun, but right now we are getting abysmal exp with really long downtime (the opposite of what i thought it was going to be).

Does this get better with levels? are we trying too early?
