Why play a paladin?

Just asking, but why would enchanters be any good at solo? Their spells do very little damage, not very mana efficient. A mage usually can solo a lot stronger stuff than enchanter.

Enchanter is one of the few classes I have not played, so don't know much about them.

charm 2 mobs = mob dps to 2 mobs simultaneously = most mana efficient and highest dps in the game

You can solo better with other classes. Pure casters, most priests, a Bard even. The SK if given fear room does at least as well as a Pally but put them in a box and life gets scary.

Think about it though: You CAN solo at high levels.

Jack Sparrow: The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do.

once epics hit pal/sk can solo pretty good without having to fear on certain mobs anyway.

Kinda. Like you said it depends on the place.

A knight class with the right gear can tank & spank blue cons for exp easily. Velks for example was a joke even without fearing mobs.

Inny's Curse is pretty awesome for duels, solo, and raids as it keeps your hps topped decent with vampiric embrace cooking. There are plenty of close to 1/1 ratio weapons that do just as good though. Still fear or aggro kiting for a SK make more sense.

A Pally has it much easier conventional plan. A root and Celestial Cleansing is very efficient on mana in tight quarters compared to 226 hp lifetaps and a couple dots. Plus a pally can fight stationary caster mobs and shut them down with stuns.
