Got to agree with you here. Once I break up something into solo pulls
(lately it's been Lord/AM/Hand in Lower Guk), which with a good group
usually takes an hour (2 spawn cycles), what am I supposed to do on the
singles we're pulling for the next four hours? Yes I stun them for most of
their short lifespan, but that's so little mana I can fit in a DD and still
be back to full mana by the next pull. Besides, evoke is trailing behind my
other skills (under 200 at level 44), I need to get work in on it when the
situation can handle it. Any spell casters that get pulled must go down hard
and ugly with DD's, after two stuns of course. If spell casting mobs get 2
spells off on my group after the initial pull, I consider that I did a poor
job on them. Never nuke early, never nuke often. And if you ever do get into
a situation where's there's 2 enchanters grouped together (rare, but I have
had it happen), one can do a little more nuking even. Enchanters are one of
the most flexible of the spellcasters, we can buff, debuff, crowd control,
and do damage, indirectly and directly. Know the situation and adapt to it.
I will add that when I need buff, it's the damage spell that has it's slot
taken by the buff spell.
