Ok so clickbaity title aside, I was always taught that Shaman with Torpor was the king of soloing tough mobs and farming high end gear. Then I read that it's actually Enchanter.

How so?

I did some research and learned about their ability to slow mobs, and of course their pet is very strong. But how do they deal with losing health?

Enchanters have 2 rune spells at higher levels. Rune v and bedlam. When paired with enchanters utility you really shouldn’t take damage, your pet does. If you get charm breaks you use stuns to handle the situation and recharm as needed.

Charm, aoe stun, aoe mez, aoe blur, paci, clarity, slow, etc. enchanters have all the tools. Shamans can have an edge on like a random mob where you’re not charming like ww dragons but charmed pets are so op that enc wins most of the time. Too lazy to list out the mobs shamans are better at, but it’s in the minority. And it’s much more of an investment to gear out and acquire all the shaman spells.

Shamans also can’t dps like a hasted torched charm pet, despite some people on this server claiming shamans are good dps (Dsm).

Tldr charm, aoe mez/stun and paci are op.
