I agree. So either the vast majority of Enchanter players on live were apes (but players of every other class knew how to play that class just as well as they do on P99), or ... our emulator isn't emulating charm properly.

They just didn't play the class back then the way they are played now
Good enchanters back then could lock down trains. They mezed and buffed.
Charming wasn't a thing back in Classic Era. At least it wasn't how the class was generally played. Sure, there may have been a few one offs here and there but chanters back then stacked INT. Not CHA.
Chanter play on P99 was a revolution that completely changed the way the class is played. It amazes me nobody understands this. Look at the way good chanters play. You're endlessly swapping out multiple spells per fight. The way the class is played has simply evolved. It's tools have been maximized. It's not easy though. It's a chore. A lazy enchanter is a dead enchanter.
I see a lot of players dump coin into gearing chanters thinking they are going to walk into a dungeon God Mode. They get wrecked and lose interest because they read the forums and thought they could solo insane mobs with ease. It's a slog. You don't even feel like a chanter until level 29. 1-12 is absolutely horrible. You get your first charm at 12 and besides a few select camps where you pull pairs it's not great.
I dunno, the people in this thread calling for chanters to be nerfed don't seem like they've ever played the class at a high level. Charm is not the only reason chanters can take out tough mobs. It's also rune and slow. They can rune their pet and slow it's target. No other class has anything close to that.
Charm shouldn't be nerfed. Players just got better and more clever.
I prefer necro charming anyways. Way more fun.
