Enchanters are great for debuffing the mob (When they aren't resisted) But
they really lack in doing damage to a mob. Keeping in mind that both
wizards and enchanters are limited by the 6 Level cap rule, so we are
talking low red, high yellows here, I would rather place my bets with a
wizard than an enchanter. Wizards, can burn a mob to down to 1/3 - 1/2 of
its life chaining DD's (Even if they are 1 circle down due to matching
cold/fire resists) much faster than an Enchanter can Debuff the same mob to
a manageable state (Taking resists into account). Tashen, Slow, Weaken 1,
Weaken 2, Dot, etc. Will about halve the damage dealt by the mob. Stuns
work, but 2 enchanters in a group are needed to be completely effective,
and again resists are an issue. Charm is out of the question, because the
last thing you want to do in a battle against a tough opponant, is to drag
another possible hostile into the fray. Of course Everyone should have
some form of root/ensnare handy to keep the mob from jumping us. Oh well
boss is here gotta go :)
