I'm sitting here debating what I want to play. Got a 16 enchanter I'm tempted to dust off, and I've spent the last couple of days farming bard gear to try that class out. Tons of options, all of them kind making me hesitate, lol.

Sure, now you only have to find that single solo spawn that doesn't aggro others every level range and you're all set!

You clearly have never leveled a mage. With earth pet you can easily split two mobs and will have the mana to kill both of them quickly with the help of your pet. Now the camp is split. There are plenty of other ways to split camps as well if it’s more than two mobs.

Sure, you’re not doing many of the super valuable dungeon camps, but for general XPing it’s really not hard to split

[starkind]

you can keep backing pet up and if you have the space reliabley keep three mobs rooted while ur pet regens hp and is like a mobile root spell as a mage while u burn down one and then u can log and resummon

Yeah pre-39 the pet regen can be a little slow compared to the content you're doing (like in the 30s) so it's tougher, but from 39 on pets regen crazy fast so it's even easier to keep multiple mobs rooted.

And once you get vocarate earth that thing casts a root immediately so you know you're guaranteed an instant root right off the bat.

This thread makes me want to try a wiz, but like starkind said, only with clickies and twinked gear

I’ve committed pretty hard to enchanter at this point, lev 52 atm with even the level 58 spell Bedlam banked waiting (that one ran me 15k), and jboots (5k)

But there’s some parts of chanter that are boring:

1. Charm soloing where you only have 2 mobs to work with that are close or equal in level start to take a LOOONNG time to kill each other. It’s still somewhat time effective because you get 2 mobs for the price of 1, but it is a long time of sitting there watching MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS “come on just hit each other!” MISS MISS MISS. I swear I’ve watched my slow drop off an enemy mob before my charmed pet could kill it, that’s how long it takes sometimes in the 50’s. The only really time effective way to charm solo is send one into a pack and root all of them, but can’t always set that situation up

2. Animation pet? Super boring. Can’t nuke, can’t dot, waste of mana. Can only slow and stun and sit on your butt and watch, can’t even control it. Most boring playstyle in the game IMO

3. Raiding - I’ve done it now and it’s hella boring on a chanter unless you are close to level 60. Everything is too high level to stick spells to, and for some reason tash has like super aggro. I’ve tried trashing a mob that a tank had been swinging at for a full minute and STILL yanked aggro with it. So you have to wait a long time to try tash, and even with that, your slow is probably not going to land. And you can forget about dots and nukes. Charming is too dangerous when your raid is pulling level 58-60 mobs and I’m level 51, so what is my role? Hasting melees. That’s it. Just haste melees all night. And only certain melees, the tanks want vision of grandeur level 60 haste and will get pissed if u put your weaker haste on them. Fun fun. Raiding looks really fun for melee dps and caster dps classes, and tanks. Looks boring as shit for enchanters and healers, at least lower level chanters that can’t charm yet

[cd288]

Wiz is doable without clickies or twink gear. You'll need a bit of INT gear to be able to quad, but nothing crazy.

Staff of Temperate Flux makes quadding a bit simpler, but it's not that big of a deal since you can just use a really low level nuke to trigger aggro without using up mana.

If this is the same tank who complains about his haste spell, complain about getting hit. Not too egregiously--just enough for him to notice. If it's a warrior, add in how that doesn't happen when you have a paladin or shadow knight. He might not say anything but it'll gnaw at his ego.

It's fair to toss out a root before u tash/slow with a war there.
