Enchanter is #1 solo class? What is this madness

[Wakanda]

As someone who plays an Enchanter and a Necromancer, I have a much easier time doing a lot of the same content on my Necromancer. I've also had other players tell me this in-game. It's a lot easier to grind farm on a Necromancer for a lot of things etc. even though Enchanters can do crazy stuff Necromancers can't.

I've solo'd both classes to 60 multiple times at this point. I can honestly say I've had more fun leveling an Enchanter than a Necromancer. I got a ton of value out of dark elf hide and the experience was so fast that it felt like I was PL'ing myself. I get fatigue really fast playing my Enc though because it requires so much more focus. Meanwhile I can log on a Necro without a care in the world and have a pretty easy time etc.

I think Lower Guk is a prime example. Enc and Necromancer can easily solo a lot of the dead-side content, but I think the Necromancer will probably have an easier / safer time doing so. Remember the first time I solo'd frenzied ghoul as a necromancer. Using charm too. Felt super trivial, not a care in the world. Enchanter on the other hand, I ended up gating out of fear for my life. Not having the extra damage, self heals, etc. led me to a pretty hairy during a charm break / ghoul root. Necro could have just life-tapped, but also with all the DoTs he has, kills mobs so much faster in that particular scenario that you don't feel in any serious danger.

Edit: Just remembered Mistmoore. My Enchanter almost died there. No high level mobs to charm, and enchanter pet is weak sauce. Meanwhile Necromancer pet can easily shred the entire zone.

I feel the same way. I have an Enchanter, Necro and Shaman. Depending on the camp, one is much easier / safer than the others.

The thing that makes Necro so good, in my opinion: variety of solo tactics.

Root rotting 4-5 at a time is wonderful. Able to keep the entirety of Frenzy in Velks dead with root rotting, and not having babysit a charmed pet up the various ramps is baller.
Or, head to Droga and farm some skins by letting your EoT rip up the mobs (after dispelling the DS on them, naturally.)
Or, head to Skyshrine and spend countless, fruitless hours farming a Wurm Lord Shawl by Fear Kiting wurms.
Or, head to Chardok and grab a hasted, torched undead pet and rip shit up.

Options are a wonderful thing.
