What all has changed for Enchanters

more if it's actually vanilla:

tashan resists at about the same rate as "normal' spells, like root.
DD spells save as all or nothing. this means you will get a huge amount full resists on anything higher than a green. basically, the DD line is trash.

Chanter nukes always have been all or nothing on p99, haven't they?

The problem is that enchanters generally only thrive where monsters are plentiful, either as pure CC class or charming. once mobs start becoming scarce the enchanter tool kit is pretty mediocre. So depending on the population of green this could be a pretty huge deal.

It's not like lich and canni, hp buffs, regen, aoe nukes, feign death pulls, etc etc etc are remotely important if you're in a full group only killing 1 mob every couple minutes either. IF there are actually so many people competing for so few mobs, nobody's toolkits matter because the group's efficiency isn't what is holding back your exp gain over time. It's just the wait on finding another mob that someone else doesn't find first.

since according to the polls 25% of the users will play an enchanter.

The poll I see is about half of that for enchanters. Which is similar to what it is and has been for years on blue.

I don't know. don't have an enchanter on blue, but from the many time's I've group with them, I'd have to guess they are certainly partially resisted on blue right now. At all or nothing resist rates, you'd get at least 3 out of 4 nukes resisted on an even con, 2 out 4 on high blues.

You'll still want to optimize for kill speed when/where possible. Regen, for instance, can be useful as it can still save the healer mana which they can then nuke with.
