Outside of the scope of this discussion, but I want to add that right at lvl 12, when enc gets charm, it's not as good as the animation. I speak with some confidence as your animation at that level can solo even cons, but a charmed mob -3 lvls definitely cannot. It happens again with the 16 animation as it can also kill lvl 15 mobs. Sometime around 18-19 the things you can charm catch, but do they outdps all other classes? I am skeptical, e.g. mage pets are substantially stronger than animations, and the mage itself does some damage with nukes, also better than you could. From 20+ though mobs can be given a torch to triple attack, and mobs are hitting for max 40. That's confidently better than any other class. So at some time between 12 and 24 an enchanter should switch to charming fulltime in a group from using animations. When they do it is probably a matter of taste.
