How bad do Enchanters get screwed when Velious comes?

Charm also got nerfed on giants :3 I imagine that will come earlier on p99 due to how much easier it makes harder giants like AoW.

Nothing was changed with charm in Velious; pet mechanics changed so that mobs would always ignore pets if another PC was in melee range. But I think that's already implemented on P1999.

On topic: What "screwed" enchanters in Velious, was that most raid content was immune to CC. But like someone else said, CC on raid isn't really needed or relevant anyway, even when it's possible.

Couldn't those level 58 adds in the Avatar of War's fight be charmed though? The ones that basically justified the existence of the 48-second fixed-duration charm spell "Dictate".

Anyway, I did a lot of levels (20-50ish) fighting frost giants (because I'm a dragon lover) and the hard part is when something goes wrong/charm breaks.
You can't use a color flux or whatever to buy time, can't use a Whirl till you Hurl, and can't use a Mezmerisation or any mez. All you've got going for you is levitating between hilltops to get some distance, obviously you better have some jboots, and the lowest-level root spell for the short duration.

Adds in AoW fight... wat?

Also meh stuns and mezzes as ways to control charm breaks are bad, learn2not waste mana and be a boss.

No adds in the AOW fight unless you pulled him.

Giants are belly casters in kael right? Gonna be fun tank charming.

[Daldaen]

Giants are not belly casters.

Though, good enchanters will tank charm if they want to kill AoW... Cause it can't really be done without doing that.
