I'd say that the end of velious was the end of the golden age for enchanters.
With luclin came kei, and many groups would simply opt for another dps and heal through the occasional adds with all the extra mana.
Kinda of annoying when youre sitting around LFG and the only tells you get are to come KEI some group. (which I felt was fair enough to refuse if they intended to leave me sitting LFG)
Thou later expansions made it even worse. POP was ok for a while but OOW really killed it for many with bread and butter spells requiring raids to get.
I can recall not being able to get my high level mez, not because we couldnt kill the mob, but because it was never up.
Oh, and IIRC another zone it dropped as a rare drop off common mobs really required you to already have the spell to get a group. Great thinking SOE!
(been 7 years so my recollection is a little hazy)
