Enchanter 54-60, solo vs grouping exp

[tranceminus]

Hey guys,

So my enc is my second char. My main is a necro, and I spent most of 54-59 in HS, then finished off my journey to 60 on ogres in neriak.

Every time I took a detour and tried a group somewhere else, the exp absolutely crawled compared to what I could do solo.

This was 2 years ago before the ZEM changes.

Now I'm doing the trip again, this time with an enc, and the changes to Hole have caused me to spend most of my time there. I duoed ent until 53, then it slowed down, and now I've been grouping around docks/GT. EXP is solid relative to what I've done elsewhere. I'm getting a good maybe 8-10% per hour or so at level 54.

So I'm wondering, given how great the Hole is now, does solo charming anywhere else even make sense? Could I possibly find better exp than this?

Thanks.
