I will say I find it funny how everyone is pretending like enchanters were charming like they are on p99. Charm was primarily a CC tool with a high risk/high reward balance. It was never meant to be used regularly to exp.

But my main is an enchanter so I hope nothing is changed.

Some honestly for once. The worst part is that a lot of classic mechanics are nerfed on P99 for being "too powerful" but Enchanter gets to maintain non classic mechanics that make them overpowered.

It has been this way forever and the only times I can remember Enchanter getting nerfed (whirl, etc) is when players got sick of them dominating everything as is happening again now. After years of Enchanters doing everything for groups and trivializing the game whirl got nerfed and now charm is the new whirl.

A big problem is that as P99 has gotten more popular a lot of the players don't give a shit what is classic. They like their custom easy mode server where other people play and they don't give a shit about recreating classic EQ. For example it used to actually be a thing to "prove it" and changes would be made. Now that means literally nothing. There is a fat stack of proven non classic core mechanics and it's getting bigger. It seems like as these players accumulate the devs also don't care about making things classic. That was the appeal but now that there is an established player base things are drifting towards customization because why not? No one has time to actually play classic EQ it's way too difficult and time consuming and not solo friendly. We'll just have classic lite.

Like others said, just get an Enchanter in your group and half AFK watching movies or whatever and watch your character experience fly as the easy loot comes in. No one wants to go back to classic EQ where your Enchanter died every few pulls in pick up groups from people breaking mez too quckly or mez being resisted and mobs perma aggroing the Enchanter. The Enchanter dies and you sit there, doing nothing, for an hour while they run back only to die again trying to get to the group and then the group breaks up and the Enchanters corpse is at the bottom of the dungeon for them to figure out retrieval. That's not fun! Classic lite.

Again with this perma aggro stuff. The enchanter has a whole line of memory blur spells. It's a powerful tool that should be used frequently, I never don't have blanket memorized.

And those old war stories sound like some terrible groups. Obviously a nerf to channeling is going to be significant but in a group where anyone else can stun, snare, root or aggro the pet you shouldn't be dying all over the place.

Mez was CC back in Live

Not Charm

Bad enchanters 20 years ago did not stack CHA like they do on P99

Hope that helps

DtV second round 2001/08/01
Today, I will challenge Kael 's DtV .

The strategy is almost the same as last time, throwing a
charmed pet into DtV
, and in the meantime, a strategy to have a companion a temple guardian . Pretty smoothly, I succeeded in killing two companions. Can you go to DtV as it is? I thought, but it seems that the mana was a little tight, so I shaved it to 60% and issued a camp instruction. A temple guardian 's repop is 30 minutes, so hurry up to CR and charge to DtV . This can go! Thinking that, when I was completely relieved, one of my pets was suddenly killed. Immediately, the second pet was also killed, and after all, it was destroyed when it was reduced to 40%. It seems that the CH was compromised, and the pet was killed during that time.

dark day 2001/07/31

I decided to challenge Derakor the Vindicator , also known as DtV. The strategy is to charm a small fish giant , make it a main tank, and in the meantime, get a temple guardian to accompany you. Then, just before Charge, the Charm ran out, and one was instantly killed in DtV . In the meantime, I was able to defeat a temple guardian , but one pet can't stand Rampage, and the number of people is gradually decreasing. This time, we gave Camp instructions here and timed out (01:30). But it worked out pretty well. I feel like I can do it next time or after that. So , after that, the 8th NPC, Gloradin, was popping in Eastern Wastes , so I created the 8th Ring.
