New Enchanter

[jojober]

I played around on this server about a year ago (actually, weirdly enough, my last forum log in was exactly a year ago to the day!) as a cleric. I kind of had a hard time finding groups a lot of the time or competing with super twinked out characters. As such, I'm really interested in trying out an Enchanter.

I love love group play - this is, in my opinion, what an MMO is all about, and I know at least back in the day on live, Enchanters were wanted for grouping. But I'm also quite aware of how efficient they are at solo play. My question though, is it feasible to start as a fresh (non-twink at all) Enchanter and be able to solo? If so, I'm most familiar with areas around Kelethin/Felwithe, but I'm thinking I might want to be a dark elf this go around - would this be a decent option for early leveling? Thanks in advance, I am quite thrilled to get back into the world!
