Root: A slight reduction on hate would make it feel more like classic
Color line of AE stuns: A slight reduction on hate
Mez: A medium reduction in hate
Tash: A slight increase in hate. YES you read that right. Tash on here feels like it only does 80% of the hate it did on live.
Charm: A slight increase in hate. Same. Charm doesn't give as much hate on here as it did on live.
Slow: A reduction in hate. Slow didn't do nearly as much hate on live as it did on here.

I'm not trying to get enchanters buffed, it just annoys me when I notice these inconsistencies when playing.

The part that's inherently wrong here is that it's your memory.
To add to this, you stopped playing in 2003.
By 2003 EQ had already seen Luclin, PoP, LoY and LDoN.
Just thinking of the number of patches, spell upgrades, AA's etc that happened between 2000 (Kunark and 2003) makes my head hurt.

I can't speak for you, but I will be so bold as to state that there is no way in hell I can say with certainty what enchanter agro was like for all those spells in 2000. At best I can estimate what agro was like for those spells when I quit playing (which like you was years later).

I think I had something like 150+ AA's on my enchanter when I quit playing that drastically changed the way I played the class. I don't feel like looking up the ones that lower hate, enhance forgetfulness, etc.
