Enchanters didn't charm until PoP dire charm AA

[unsunghero]

And when I say the Necro emulation server, I say that because from my experience leveling up, necromancer and Druid is like 1/4 the population of green lowbies and mid levels atm

Now factor in that a good chunk of enchanters will either quit or re-roll, and since Druid eats the nerf bat they won’t be as appealing of a re-roll. So necro ranks will continue to swell

Maybe they can do some Necro only RP guilds or something

Necro charm gets nerfed as well but IMO they will become the most capable solo’ers aside from geared shaman by default

it's too soon for another annual delete charm thread

this rate of posts is unsustainable and surely will result in euphoria and then despair and ruined lives

don't do this, think

[Toxigen]

a lot of people not playing enchanters in this thread

Nah, everyone was just bad at enchanter on live + 10 fps and 350 ping

Move to resolved.

It was strictly practical. A group had to not go ld or lag out to hold a camp or not wipe.

Charming in the dial-up era is like what Mason Verger concluded regarding cutting his face off:It might sound like a good idea, but it isn't

resolved, really. I often played with Aussies even though I was EST. Corpse runs were a hassle and Aussies are untrustworthy, so "caution" was the word.

invis should break way more often too ) and everyone should want clicky invis pots [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] and enchanters should just have a server wide random DT every 20-40 mins

This is true

People arguing encs play better now. Because they can solo.

Wrong. It is an mmorpg. Enchanters were better before because they grouped and roleplayed.

Since we’re talking about grouping, let’s factor in server health and player preferences. 1/4 to 1/3 of the playerbase (including lots of casual scrubs like me) are playing 1 of a few strong solo classes because for whatever reason they aren’t wanting to group. Maybe it’s because when they play, groups aren’t available. Or maybe it’s because with their play setup they have to frequently afk. Or maybe they’re just anti-social and weird

All 3 aren’t going to be pleased to be hit with a few coder’s guess on how classic charming went based on a vocal minority of players on the forum

So what happens next? People either adapt, re-roll, or quit. If they re-roll and want to be a strong solo’er, they’ll be funneled into fewer choices and so class populations will continue to skew. And they’ll probably be more likely to quit the longer they were used to the old version. And if it was challenging to find groups when you played before, and some casual players in your level range just quit....Well that’s a bummer
