I'm talking about the degree to which it is done. I'm not saying it wasn't possible to solo, I'm saying it's far more prevalent for people to be soloing in P99 (and also just duo/trio instead of full group) than it was in classic. I played enchanter also in classic and you could not solo nearly as easily as you can today in P99. The difference in internet connectivity alone makes a huge difference for your ability to react to charm breaks. Having audio triggers and timers through programs like GINA also makes a gigantic difference. In P99, every single Enchanter is stacking as much CHA as they can from the get go, all are getting JBoots and goblin rings - this wasn't the case in live. And it's just completely different cultures and game knowledge between classic and P99 today.

Also the charm killing meta wasn’t fully the way it is today. I mean, damn you can find posts on the forums here from 2013 where people are discussing whether you need to memblur the mobs after the break to get full exp for both, you’ve got people saying you need to kill your pet mob first after breaking charm in order to clear the aggro/damage table to get full exp, etc.

People just didn’t know stuff
