We all appreciate participation in the list.
BUT! In the future would you please refrain from quoting the
entire digest in your message? Nothing worse than a digest to
digest feedback loop. Well, okay, maybe a festering hag train is worse,
but only slightly )

Now to contribute instead of just complain )

My enchanter is only 10th level, and I have not found it difficult to gain this
level solo
or with group assistance. My tactics change drastically whether Im solo or in
group,
of course. Perhaps I will become severely disable when I hit the range of 14 -
18th.
But, while some spells don't work the way I would like them to, I am still happy
overall
with the class. Not a knock on necro players, but I didn't want to play one,
and if they are
"tougher" than me, no big deal. Being able to contribute in a group is another
issue entirely.
I can't always contribute directly against a deep red, but I can engage it first
and contribute my
pet, and I can buff the party to some extent and keep wandering yellows from
fouling the mix.
I'm pretty happy with my role as it is.

Also, as an aside. I have grouped with a couple of 9th and 10th level wizards,
and in all occasions,
I habe ended confornations with more life and more mana than they have. Don't
know what this
REALLY means in the end, but the mobs were always more willing to target me than
them if I stepped
in.
