P99Green: Were enchanters modified to have higher pet drops?

Level difference makes a huge difference. If you think you can charm something one or two levels below you reliably “because it’s blue” you’re gonna have a real bad time

This is why charm is so brutal at level 12 but so crazy powerful at like 40+. The range of stuff you can exp on at low levels is so small that you have a hard time finding something that is worth exp but isn't too close to your level so that it is difficult to keep charmed.

That said, enchanters are totally able to charm for solo exp right at 12 even naked as the day they were born when you're using the right tactics. Use open space to your advantage, fight near a zone line, be willing to accept 1/2 exp or no exp for a kill if it seems like trying to get full exp is going to cost you more mana than it is worth, be patient. My two most recent enchanters, both untwinked (or nearly so) went to kerra isle before 16 iirc, and while it wasn't easy by any stretch, they managed to exp nicely in there even sometimes charming and killing evens and yellows.

Charming in groups isn't ideal until maybe 20+ since your animation is pretty similar in strength to a safe charm target at these levels, but once you're a little higher (you're high enough) you can charm a level 25 easily with tash and cha buff and maybe some cheap charisma gear, and it should outperform your animation probably. Again, make use of open space to keep you safe from charm breaks (make your pet guard away from where you're medding; don't let it sit right next to you).
