I have positive and negative things to say about how you play your
enchanter...i will start with the negative so we all end on a good note...
Negative:
Basically, not being able to choose your spells like this, makes you more of
a risk to the group, you are too undecided, and cant figure out exactly what
you want to do. You rely more on yourself for the entire battle then the
entire group as a whole. You need to start to rely on your team-mates and
realize that they too can handle situations. Also, i think you probably
soloed a lot in the mid teens to mid 20's, cause most of the line up of your
spells are good for soloing.
Positive:
Not many people can truely understand the enchanter, and you have mastered
every single type of situation and what spells to use for the situations. A
group with you will not have problems getting the spells they need, or the
kills they need as long as you recognize the situation (which you have
mastered) I too switch my spells often depending on the situation, but you
have an art here that is interesting.
Basically, to sum up my opinion...remember this is only an opinion e-mail
heheh
I think you have great skill as an enchanter, but i dont think that being so
undecided and changing spells either during battle, or running out of mana
(i am sure you run out fast) during a battle because you wanna use all your
spells is the best way to play an enchanter.....
Anywayz, thats my opinons :) take it or leave it, its up to you.
