Its really not a big deal to sit down and swap in invis to break charm. Just put it somewhere easy in your spellbook.

Thumbs up; this is what I do.

Is there actually 8 different spells you'd need to have active to solo?

I found with my druid that I usually had spots to spare. First time messing around with an ench though

Constantly swapping spells in and out, enchanter would be so much easier if you could have 15 spells up at once =P

Between mezzes, stuns, root, slow, charm, tash, bedlam, lull, etc etc you quickly run out of spots and have to decide what to flip in and out.

Even with the recent nerf, racial hide is handy whether you're using it to break charms or not. IMO there's only one choice for an enchanter and that's DE since you can always turn yourself into something else anyway. Plus DE enchanters can wear cool purple chainmail.

Yep! But that is part of what makes playing an Enchanter in EQ so interesting. It takes a lot of patience and planning. You get good at spell swapping and organizing your book after a while. I consider it part of the challenge of the class...and the challenge is what makes me keep playing my Enchanter.

HIE is better for racial armor, CHA instead of DEF's AGI.

you really want a gazughi ring if you're not DE and the only reason to not have one if you are DE is laziness. other than that, taper enchantment is super cheap but you really dont want to have the spell gem cooldown if you dont need to

^^ dead on... i consider my failed hides as bonus med time

Well I think a lot of the usefulness of hiding is (well, more accurately was) simply to AFK. But between see invis mobs and undead a lot of that utility is gone. Really I should probably update my guide.

The biggest problem of breaking charm with a self cast of invisibility is that 2.25 second cooldown between spells.

Goblin Gazughi Ring

Gazughi Ring is animals only..its convenient but not worth the cash/camp imo

My 55 chanter did alot of charming. Hide, while sometimes annoying with its
failures , is kinda huge in my opinion.

DE race gives you hide...you can illusion to your favored race. The other races
give you nothing. Higher starting INT from an erudite is irrelevant with how easy it
is to have high INT/CHA without raid gear.

To answer your question, assuming your Erudite is not like 50..scrap him.

Any invis will break charm.
