I disagree. That's the situation where an Enchanter
really shines. Wizards can help, but not as well.
Our best bet in that situation is Evac.

If you're grouped with a Druid or Ranger, just forget
Root. Have them use Snare. It's resisted much less,
and works a lot better.

Enstill is good for crowd control, but, again,
Enchanters are much better at this than we.

At least, it did up until a couple of months ago. I
haven't grouped with either of those classes in a
really long while.
