Enchanter is #1 solo class? What is this madness

Ench is still a 40k spellbook and if you want to go EC BiS today it would still cost you 80k or so, before you start getting stuff like zheart/ring of lightning/SS MQs. I mean, I started my ench from scratch on p99 and also got to 205 cha by 50 but I barely had any +hp/mana and I was sitting at like 160int. Ench tend to get reamed real good and your level 50+ spells are huge mana drains so you need both the hp and mana while the deeper you delve into dungeons the more resists you'll also want. Pre 60 you can absolutely get by on scraps but post 60 the better gear will absolutely enable you to do crazy shit and live to tell the tale.

Was confused by this statement and then realized you are talking about Green. High level Enchanter spells are fairly cheap on Blue, but my 50+ Shaman DoTs on Blue still cost more than all of my Enc spells combined. Remember being disheartened when my Shaman had finally saved up 20K and I realized I was halfway to Torpor and only level 55 ! . . . and then had to drop 20K on Bane of Knife and didn't have 16K for Pox of Bert. when I finally hit level 59.

With my Enc on the other hand... the expensive spells are like level 60 haste, gift of pure thought etc. Things that aren't super critical to my class, especially as a solo player.

SHM on the other hand has to spend a lot of money on their basic DoTs, Torpor, Epic etc. Like what I mean is, if you just took a Shaman who had no Torpor or Epic... he's not even going to be in the discussion for most OP class in P99, meanwhile Enchanter can forego a lot of their pricy spells without a care in the world, especially while leveling.
