Was Enchanter epic such a poopsock on live?

Anyone who is not wearing a 40-41% haste item should always be asking for SoS over VoG.

Also, if you have ever been the only enchanter recovering after a partial or complete wipe, you know the value of SoS.

Plus BiS stats (the only thing even arguable is the Fesh stick, IMO, and that takes incredible gear in other places to be able to justify).

VoG has ATK

Yes, that 2% increase in damage from the 20 increased attack is totally worth sacrificing 5% extra damage from maxing out haste. That makes sense.

There are good reasons for VoG for non max-hasted toons, but it isn’t attack. (Dex for procs, anyone?)

^ This. gets your deeps up and running for free/sooner; I'm not sure why so many don't see this benefit of SoS... it's akin to click-stick battle rezzes.

Not untrue, but it’s awesome for hasting charmed pets while soloing and it’s stats are awesome

The main problem with the Enchanter epic is that the class is one of the funnest classes to play and a great solo class. So temporarily shelving it to poopsock VT and VD is more painful

Literally the only reason I want chanter epic, and I really don’t want it that badly due to the aforementioned sockfest.

The stats alone are juicy enough to warrant the effort.

Easier said than done, though....I'm pretty confident I'll never do it myself (filthy casual here).

I'm having more than enough difficulty with the VP key quest. I'll be happy if someday I'm lucky enough to win a Shissar Focus Staff.

Even in the 2001 posts Enchanters were pissed about the effect for all the effort it took since even mobs like Kindle and The Tangrin were a 2-3 group affair. Diku's guide says it was instant-cast in 2001 which would make up for the subpar effect, but the evidence supporting that is limited.
