Enchanter solo tactics 55+

[iruinedyourday]

Hi guys - this isnt so much a thread about where to solo as an enchanter but.. how to efficiently do it.

My problem when I'm soloing stems from a couple of things but one of which is me wanting to get chain pulls - I know that aint right for soloing.. or is it? i dont freeking know... So I have some questions.

#1. Is it better to continue with the charm 1v1 when they are both low root/breakcharm/killpet/killtarget - med up?

#2. Charm 1v2 - mez/root the 2 targets - kill pet - charm another, try to keep 1v2 (this one is more difficult because you have 3 potential aggro mobs it is no easy)?

#3. Charm 1 - Haste - attack 1 at a time, debuffing the target and keeping my pet alive and just shrugging off the pet XP penalty?

I want to do #3 - because I find it is more mana efficient and relaxing that #1 and especially #2. But I dont know if the penalty is bad enough that I should avoid doing this and I should do style #1 or #2 instead?

What do ye say? Thanks!

I always did #1 while leveling but it may have been because #2 wasn't exactly a thing I had thought of. You lose 1/2 the xp per kill from #3 and rather than killing both your pet and the enemy you just kill the enemy, still with buffs and stuff it might be faster if you could continually chain enemies, but a single battle with #3 is theoretically 1/4 the xp of #1 unless you break your pet and recharm after killing, which would make it take almost as much mana as #1 anyway.

Pretty sure you want to charm a pet, weaponize it, haste it, lvl4 mez it and root it. Get a new pet, have it fight your beast pet. Break new pet and kill. Keep beastmode mob rooted. It will blender your pets and you can keep him rooted the whole time. If you have mana issues lvl4 mez and let him reset.

Can usually get like 4-5 mobs killed before you need to mez and let your weaponized beast mob regen to full. Then repeat. Just keep him tashed and rooted the whole time.

This also works to Power level from 20-55+ at a pretty nice rate

Edit: Dammnit didnt read the other pages, Tecmos beat me to it. He's the one who told me!

EXP intake is increased with each mob you have rooted within melee range of your pet. 2 weaponized pet blenders are better than one!

I feel dumb for having never tried this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Having said that, I prefer to duo on my ench. A shaman for malo / heals / slows is amazing, right yums? You bastard.

It works for PLing too. I took Tecmos to OT with a level 30ish (twinked) shaman buddy and charmed one of the level 50 mobs in the outpost, ran it out into the middle of OT, charmed, hasted, broke charm, rooted, then used beguile (or VP clicky) to charm mobs and feed them against the ex-pet. He'd beat them down to 10% in a matter of seconds, then I'd invis ring to break charm and go charm another to repeat while my buddy chased the now-fleeing mob around and beat it down with his GFG.

I've been trimming the xp gains from 52. Only during smooth pulling and pausing during any CR or anything - however letting the timer run during med breaks.

In 52 6 man KC basement after 6 hours I averaged 6% per hour.

At 52 duo in CoM it was 12% per hour and trio it was 13.5%

At 54 everything was just reduced by 50% so for duo it was 6% although the 6 man in Seb netted 5% per hour.

3 days to get 50% through level 54 all on work nights!! Not bad!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

*edit - PS I have not had the opportunity to time XP for solo for an hour because I have too many friends. yay me! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
