the charming classes (druid/chanter) only have to make minor adjustments to get full xp.
What minor adjustments?

So enchanter having to finish off all mobs with their extremely inefficient and terrible damage spells is a small change to you. Noted.

it's not minor at all, enchanter nukes are terrible. In addition to your normal mana cost of rune / CC / charm it's quite substantial.

and actually druids don't really need to adjust much at all. a lot of druids were already doing the mob grinder technique which isn't really affected by this change.

Doesn't really work like that. You can sometimes do it, but it's not like that's some minor adjustment that allows enchanters to solo on nearly the same level as they could before. Charm-grinding was already a shaky balance, and although it was great xp when it went well, it took very little for it to go wrong or become inefficient. Having to spend considerably more mana per kill will throw the whole thing off completely, and more importantly, the ideal charm kill where your pet's and the target mob's hp follow eachother is far from guaranteed. More often than not, your pet will lose and you'll compensate by slowing/stunning the target mob, or your pet will finish the mob with 40% hp left and you'll haste it and use it for another kill before disposing of it. Having to routinely break your charm with both mobs still alive, spend much more mana per fight, and never have a pet last more than one fight will make the whole process not worthwhile. Since soloing with a summoned pet is even less viable, I don't see how enchanters can solo effectively anymore except item camps.

What was the point of this even? Was this even classic? Too many people mad about 2 classes solo ability?

So what class do you play??? How would you like to loose about 75% of your XP compared to what you used to do.

It hasn't proven to be very difficult for me. YMMV I guess.
