Two points of contention here:
First, Enchanters have MANY things they are outstanding at. Buff
(Clarity and Augmentation anyone?), Debuff (obvious), Travel (Illusions,
Invis, Enduring Breath, Lev, etc.... ). Wizzies have duel roles too. They
are bar none the best damage dealers and the best for getting a group out
of a sticking situation (Evacs). The only class that I can think of that
DOESN'T have more than one role in a group is a Warrior. They are Tanks
only. They don't do anything else well (and sometimes they don't even Tank
well).
Second, Enchanters are the best pullers in the game hands down.
They RARELY perform this function, but they can do it better and safer than
anyone else. Watch an Enchanter Lull all the Mobs and then pull the one
they want (and ONLY the one they want) back to the group. Plus, if they do
pull too many, they just Mez everything and continue pulling the single
they wanted. Once you have seen an Enchanter do this you will gain a new
level of respect. Monks are the second best pullers though. :-)
