How much of the enchanter's roll is reduced on these servers? Spells that
would
be hard to use in NON-PK situations (ie normal grouping) - like
Mezmerization,
all the Color series of stuns, grav flux (this one would be funny as hell if
it
didn't get the entire party killed), etc. What does this leave the
enchanter
with? Hope your tanks resist or do you go up and whack on your group member
to
break the mes?

I can't speak for Rallos Zek where everyone can hurt everyone else within 4
levels of their level, but on Tallon the "cross-teaming" enchanters have a
more difficult time because they can't use those spells. However, I'm
pretty sure that on Rallos, the spells won't hurt your party members but
will hurt their pets (go figure) making them go aggro on you. Maybe it
works the same way on the Race war zeks, but I've never cross-teamed so I
don't really worry about it.
Funny story: There was a huge battle in South and North Karana of the
Lights vs. the Darks (the Lights being the 3 other teams - Team shortie:
Dwarves, gnomes, halflings - Team elf: High elves, half-elves, wood elves -
Team Blind: Humans, Erudites, Barbarians). After a great battle on the
South Karana bridge, the lights retreated into North Karana or were killed
in South Karana, and the Darks moved into North Karana to give chase.
During these big 50 on 50 battles I always fight under an illusion. It is
much easier for them to target an Ogre or a dark elf, than to realize that
gnome is really a dark elf. So I zone in and begin AE Mesmerization,
stopping a good many of them. Then Enthralling the ones not actively
engaged. After a few AE mezzes, a shorty sends me a tell "Easy on the AE
spells" - He still thought I was the illusioned race and was hitting him
accidentally! After Enthralling him two more times (ha ha) he figured out
what I was really doing. Later on he told me he had to do a /guildstatus
Drexia to figure it out. During the whole night, he was the only one to
figure it out. That tells you how safe we can be under illusion. I've
never been attacked running through High Pass (that is solid Lightie
territory) thanks to illusion. And had no trouble buying spells from Erudin
or completing the Stein quest. The team PvP servers are so much fun.
