Enchanter Compared to Shaman?

[Snaggles]

I'm still working on my sham slowly (57). Tapped-out mid 50's and leveled a ench to 50. Mostly because I didn't have the resources to twink a sham out properly and that mid-50's grind is depressing. Two things I found frustrating with the chanter life.

1.) Apparently I'm super OCD about dying and giving myself #$%& for it.
2.) I like to play with at least a whiskey in me. That hardly affects the sham but definitely can with the enchanter (if you aren't very good, aka me)

With cheap charisma gear, jboots and a gobby ring you are absolutely set. I even use a Kobold Jester Crown to cap out self-buffed CHA easily. The ench is much better at 12 and around 20 life is just great. If you have a buddy willing to play a cleric it would be a blast.

The sham doesn't really start ramping into godmode until like 29/34 unless you have a fungi. A JBB at 45 is a blast. I assume with an epic around that time or shortly after it's super easy. Soloing at 57 now is just a slog. I'm a plodder though so I'll trade that for a less unpredictable game. When time allows I like to duo with a melee. That's less dynamic than the ench/cleric duo but just what my friends tend to be playing.

Note: I was tweaking on this for a bit. Endorra has great feedback. No intent to mimic, just worked out that way)
