Subject: Some questions


Hi,

I'm new to the list. I have some questions, hopefully not all of them have
been asked before. I'm now level 20.

1. Whirl till you Hurl - is this useful at all anymore ? I heard that it
used to be a 15 second guaranteed stun and enchanters did nothing but
whirl all day, and now it's nerfed to uselessness.

2. Disempower and Enfeeblement. I cast both on myself, and lost 54 str and
71 agi. I can see that I can waste a tank in PvP with these spells but are
they useful against MOBS ? Do MOBs have str, agi and other stats, or just
ac and atk ? Currently I do not use these spells.

3. I'm still using mesmerize. Why is enthrall better ? Lower resists ? Longer
duration ? Btw, I find that against orcs in Highpass, Mesmerize would
consistently wipe hate lists, very useful when charmed orcs turn against you.

I highly recommend highpass for fledgling enchanters 17-20. Get your highpass
guard faction up, and learn how to deal with huge fights. I loved all the
action you got there. Charm can really turn tables in those fights. Suddenly
their healer is smacking them instead of healing them. Or they are getting
backstabbed by orc scouts.

4. What is the speed improvement of quickness and others in that line ? Does
the speed improvement of quickness increase as you rise in levels ? Does
the meditation boost of clarity increase as you rise in levels ?

For lvl 20 enchanters out there, aviak guards in Lake Rathe, including those
that con even are very easy to solo. Get a magician summoned dagger for your
pet. This reduces its atk delay. Then give it quickness to make it really
abusive. Then berserker str. Draw a guard with tashani/languid pace/choke.
The pet is so powerful that the guard is down to 2 bubbles of life before it's
worked through the berserker str skin. The pet ends the fight with only 1 bubble
of life lost. I'm pretty sure it outdamages any lvl 20 tank. The best pet does
max dmg 22.
