Necros can solo better than enchanters. Period.
Enchanters might be more OP, but definitely not better at soloing.

For single targets outdoors, sure. For undead, it's probably a toss-up. And it does take a while to get that 200+ charisma. But anywhere else? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think a necromancer could solo even something easy like the Chardok entrance, let alone something tricky like the King in Guk. For example, soloing 2 dark blues as an enchanter is lull/mez/tash/charm/root/pet attack/l1 nuke/charm break/stun/mez/recharm/get XP/break charm/mez/nuke. In 3-4 minutes I can kill two L45+ mobs and still be FM at the end. If you can do that as a Necromancer, my hat is off to you.
Regarding CHA gear: Great Dane has pretty good advice. Incandescent Mask (+7) and Rod of Insidious Glamour (+12) are both pretty easy to get at L30 with some help. Crude stein (+15) is I think 100p or so in East Commonlands, but I got mine for free just running down to Feerot and asking to loot from someone killing the guards. The CHA bracers (+7 each) are also cheap, and Opalline Earrings (+5) and Nobles Robes (+5) are also cheap, as well as Drake Hide Leggings (+5). So that is +68 charisma for under 500p. For another 1K you can get a Gypsy Medallion (+9) and a Siryn Hair Hood (+11 IIRC), bringing you to +88. The L34 charisma buff is something like +30, so that's +118, meaning you are close to 200 even if you started with a low charisma race. AFAIK the effect of charisma is linear up to the soft cap, meaning if your average charm is X at 100 charisma, it will be 1.5X at 150 charisma, and 2.0X at 200 charisma.
I don't recommend memorizing gate - enchanters just don't get enough spell slots for it. Instead, make a spellset with ONLY gate in the bottom slot (all others empty). You can the /mem gate and cast fairly quickly, although you do have to pay the recast time.
