Are enchanters bad in PVP?

[Xaanka]

enchanters and bards are both top tier pvp classes but they're both group/mass pvp oriented and not 1v1 characters.

as an enchanter you will usually be among the first players to be targeted in any PVP so knowing zones and how to juke players is essential. an enchanter's role in pvp is to set up enemies to get crushed by your pals. you can get kill shots too, but that's not your strength. expect to die a lot as an ench unless you know what you're doing, but if you play it right you'll feel like you were a deciding factor in just about every pvp encounter. you can only really 1v1 bad players, or players with bad gear; a velious gear stacked melee will laugh at you as everything resists before tearing you apart like a damp napkin. but in any 2+ vs * pvp you are a god.

as a bard your primary role is to buff your teammates, especially the melee's. bards are more or less indestructible in outdoor zones when played right unless heavily focus fired or hit by an enchanter. you won't ever really die unless you get caught in a bad spot in an indoor zone. you also won't ever really get any kill shots unless you're lucky. despite this bards are a top tier essential group pvp class.
