Shaman or enchanter

[Samoht]

I feel like a Shaman with epic and level 60 spells is much more powerful than an Enchanter with epic and level 60 spells. Yes, the Enchanter can do more damage with a charmed pet, but the Shaman can kill much more powerful opponents. Soloing by rooting and rotting is also much safer than charm.

Pretty much agree with Samoht, Although I would say an enc could usually take down equally as difficult opponents, your life lies in the RNG every charm.

Samoht isn't incorrect either though. It's always fun to see shaman quad root rotting 51+ mobs..

As for this, it's not just about multi epic/root. At 60 with torpor shaman style of gameplay changes immensely, As most fights can be turned into an endurance contest at that point for the shaman. Enchanters play similarly 20-60, Burst damage with charm pet, and hope RNG is in your favor.

That's one of the reasons I was saying enchanters are easier to get started with. Torpor is an incredibly expensive spell..ESPECIALLY if it's going to be his first actual main.

That's very true but I felt it was worth mentioning since he specifically asked on how they played different at 60 compared to 1-59

I was specifically thinking of things like WW dragons that an Enchanter can't even touch because they will dispel charm on the pet.

I've seen chanters stack charm up to the 10th slot or so and spam bracer/etc on pet to maintain charm, is that not really viable on WW dragons? I've only ever shaman'd them myself, personally.
