If you’re not going to pull, don’t even bother. That’s like asking if people are going to blacklist you for being a Warrior but refusing to tank because all you want to do is DPS

Less so with monks possibly... there is a lot of monks (at least when i was leveling one) and often had groups with 2 sometimes 3 monks

However that being said I agree with most people in this thread.... don't play a class half ass if a huge part of the class is against your playstyle... if you don't like to pull because it takes a lot of constant input then don't play a puller class and find something more in line with how you wish to play.... like warrior

Its like playing a enchanter but never wanting to charm because its too much work.... might as well play a magician at that point

This is what you call a warm body. You're good for head count but thats about all.

Thats cos, while charming is largely optimal, an enchanter can still juggle half a dozen important and time consuming jobs instead of charming.

A monk that isn't pulling is juggling his auto attack (and hopefully a kick button).

That said, I've noticed many non-pulling monks rarely launch their special attacks.

I just don't see charming as optional.

Its too strong not to do. I suppose if said enchanter is going to need to be AFK a lot, etc...I'd understand. Overall, enchanters that refuse to charm are usually just lazy or incompetent.

This depends on the group composite.

If the group has a bunch of melee and is hasting everyone, as well as CCing, as well as slowing, then give the chanter a break he doesn't need to be charming shit too.

I have also been in groups where the dps is so strong we don't need a charmed pet, in fact that's just one more mob not spawning for XP if it were charmed.

If the group needs dps, and other responsibilities are not spreading the chanter too thin then sure, expecting the chanter to hold a pet for dps is completely understandable but there are some circumstances where this just isn't the case.

Comparing a chanter not holding a pet to a monk not pulling is just dumb. Please concede this argument is utterly ridiculous.

At higher levels you are right, at lower levels Enchanters don't have all the tools yet and if you are getting huge pulls every time I can see how having a charm is just not feasible without getting your ass whipped. Its a little easier to handle charm breaks when you have Planar Gear + Heroic Bond + Symbol + Rune Vs. being level 37 and having 700hps total

-50 and 50+ are different games for many classes (Enchanter/Necro particularly)
