Charming w/o hide?

[skacat]

How much of a pain is charming without hide?

Worth rerolling a ERU ench for a DE ench? Lots of HE enchs out there, do they not charm solo often?

Same Q is relevant for druids too...

Note that DE ENC hide caps out at like 50 skill, so you'll still see a fair number of failed hides. It matters for 2 reasons:
1) low levels when the mana cost of invisibility actually matters.
2) you get 8 spell gems. If you have to dedicate one to invis, you only have 7 left. Or you can get better at swapping gems and managing your spell book.

Is there actually 8 different spells you'd need to have active to solo?

I found with my druid that I usually had spots to spare. First time messing around with an ench though

Stun, Mez, Tash, Charm, Rune, Haste, Slow are the ones that I always have up. I cycle out C, Obscure, and nullify magic. I use nullify magic cause I like dispelling Haste too.

So ya.. Space is at a premium ;p

My L13 enc uses:
1 - Choke
2 - Suffocating Sphere
3 - Color Flux
4 - Root
5 - Tashanian
6 - Mez
7 - Charm
8 - W/e

But Loraen's guide suggests a spell load-out I'll probably work towards. Only being able to cast 8 spells at a time is one of the big nuances of gameplay that makes EQ great. You don't notice it until you come back from WoW where I could literally keybind every single skill at the same time.

I'm sure I'll notice it more as I get runes, hastes, slows, etc. I know on my Bard I always have more songs I'd like to sing than I have song slots or that I can fit in my twist.

47 HE Enchanter here.

I use level1 spell Taper Ench to break charm most of the time.
Usually don't haste my pets when soloing.
Can't afford the Goblin ring.

That's all you need!

Its really not a big deal to sit down and swap in invis to break charm. Just put it somewhere easy in your spellbook.
